ford 1700 slow bucket return

Tractor data says your tractor has live hyd.

If that means that your pump is always pumping, and fluid flowing, then you can use this valve.

If that is not the case, then maybe Soundguy will set it/us straight.

Since the pump feeds your valve and the 3pt, you should use the PB to feed high pressure to the 3pt, or remotes in the future.

The adapter is only a few dollars more.

J.J. OK i was just on the phone and asked they tech before ordering what valve i need the 10GPM or the 25GPM and he said to determan i have to use a flow meter. I don't own one. I looked around for specs but couldn't find the flow rate. Any idea ? Thank You, Brian

Most people don't have a flow meter.

You could remove a line and dump hyd fluid in a bucket, and using time compute the flow at max engine rpm. Over fill the reservoir to check the bucket method, as you will be dumping fluid.

Remove one hose from the valve and place in a 5 gal bucket and move the lever to add fluid to bucket.

----------------------------40-----------------------------2
----------------------------15-----------------------------4
If you can pump a gal in 12 sec, then the pump flow is 5 GPM.
----------------------------7.5-----------------------------8
----------------------------6.0-----------------------------10

Based on the other models, I would think the 10 GPM valve would work fine.

J.j. I get 4-4 1/2. GPM. So with that its safe to say the 10gpm. Will work ? Can't wait to get it fixes. Spring is coming Thanks. Brian

J.J. I didn't get to order my joystick. But had to use my tractor to move my boat and by using the 3pt lift I put the lift lever back where I got it from and it sounded like it hade a load on it so I moved the lever down a little out of the notch and noticed the load sound went away but the lift arms are still all the way to the top. I found the loader works great now. How about that boy do I feel dumb. This is what I Also found out......Just remembered. Keep the 3 point lift lever out of the top notch. It is only to be used when operating remote valves connected at the control valve under the seat. In the top notch position it really kills the hydo power and is hard on the pump. If you have draft control (two levers) keep the draft lever down. Thanks for all the help. Any idea how much ballast box weight I should carry ? It's the 770 loader on the 2wd Thanks. Again. Brian
