How do I swap a Joystick for the two level system to control the loader...kit?

[DW5610]

I have a 1987 Ford 5610 II with a Great Bend Loader. Currently the loader is controlled by two seperate levers. I would like to put in a joy stick and free up the 2 sets of Hydraulic ports.

Any suggestions?

You take the IN hose of the loader valve and install it into the IN port of the new joystick valve, and connect the OUT hose to tank/return line of new valve, and install the PB adapter and run the PB hose to the next valve.

You could use the old valve as a remote valve, but you really need a PB line from the remote valve.

You need at least a 10 GPM valve.

Hydraulics:
Type: open center
Capacity: 15 gal [56.8 L]
Pressure: 2500 psi [172.4 bar]
Valves: 1
Pump flow: 9.7 gpm [36.7 lpm]
Steering flow: 3.6 gpm [13.6 lpm]

This valve has both float and regen.

Is loader currently controlled by an ind valve on loader or tractor rear remotes?
