Have a question about my FEL hydraulic valve

shibaura_4043 · Oct 14, 2013

I have recently decided to get started installing rear remotes on my Shibaura ... I would like to tap into my loader valve and I need some help. I've done a lot of reading on here and my understanding is the "In" port of new valve goes to the PB port of loader valve, the PB port on new valve goes the 3pt and the "Out" port of the new valve goes to the tank... That's all well and good except for my loader valve only has two connecting hoses. The loader valve is tapped into the supply line near the pump One hose goes to one side if supply line and the other hose connects to the other side of the line and runs to the 3 pt ... I would like to know how the proceed from here... I'm going to try to attach a pic of the current set up... Thanks in advance.

It appears that you don't have a loader valve with PB,

To add valves, you need a PB port with adapter to pass high pressure downstream.

To get around this, order your new valve with PB with adapter, and run the pump out to the IN port of the new valve.

The remote PB out will now connect to the loader valve IN port, and the OUT of the loader will still go to the 3pt. The OUT of the remote must go to tank.

The series flow path will now be like this. Pump to remote, to loader valve, to 3pt IN, then to tank.

Should not be a problem.
Run the pressure line to the in port of the new valve.
Run the power beyond line back to the in port of your loader valve.
Find a point on the tractor to run the tank line from the new valve to.
You should be all set with that.

Just keep in mind that most valve return/tank ports are pressure limited to about 500 psi and you could damage your valve.

And yes I know the valve would still be in the series path either way.

Your choice.

Thank you both for replying ... That makes since I will run it the way you guys have suggested... Does my current set up return at the 3pt somewhere? How does current config work correctly if it doesn't have the return to tank on the loader valve? Also what will I look be looking for on the tractor when I try to hook up the return line on the new valve... Could there possibly be a a plugged port I can use?

Either a plugged port of return to the filler cap.

Just follow the current line from the loader valve OUT to the 3pt connection.

Ok... I guess I'll find the return back at the 3pt somewhere??? Thanks

The hyd flow using a loader valve with a two hose setup, will be like this.

Pump to loader IN port, loader OUT port to 3pt IN port, and the 3pt dumps directly into tank.

You will use the same path with the new valve in series. There may be a return port on the tractor case, but if not, just run the tank/return hose to the filler cap using a home made adapter.
