hose hookup on John Deere 670... help!

[dupuy]

I have just bought a small PowerHorse log splitter to use with my 670. However, I can not find any way to identify which two of the four hydraulic connectors to connect the hoses to.

There are four connectors just forward of the driver's left foot, numbered 1,2,3,4 in a clockwise direction. The lever for the FEL is by the driver's seat, and I understand that two of the connectors will respond to moving lever front/rear and two connectors respond to moving lever side to side... but which ones? And which is source and which is return? I don't have a front end loader, and the hydraulic connectors are not identified in the 670 manual.

I hope someone can help! thanks, David

Welcome to TBN

1 and 2 should be the UP/DOWN , or for/aft joystick movement

3 and 3 should be the DUMP/CURL, or the left/right joystick movement

The IN and OUT changes depending on which way you move the joystick.
