I hooked up to the 1&2 FEL ports. The SCV setup came with the tractor, but I didn't get an FEL (long story) I HOPE to get the FEL some day... till then I may as well use the existing setup /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. If/when I get the FEL, I'll spring for the electrically controlled divertor valve, rather than another SCV setup. I don't like seeing all that hardware mounted on the fenders/ROPS/ wherever. I keep seeing myself smacking my elbow on it /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif.

I'm at work /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif, but I'll get a picture of the hook-up tonight.

Cats huh, well my youngest sure likes them. She also knows that she isn't supposed to play on the tractor as well but u know how that goes, sometimes you gotta bend the rules. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

picture of the connection of the hoses. They hang down a bit; I'll need to do something about that this spring, but they're fine for snow-blowing.

gordon,
I think you found another use for a tractor. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Just something about children and pets that gives a wam feeling w/in. /w3tcompact/icons/love.gif

Mark, your picture didn't make it. Are you hooking in where the FEL normally connects (under the front of the floorboard)? Anxious to see /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

markcg2000 · Feb 5, 2002

Sorry about that... missed the fact that it didn't show. [image]/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif[/image] But, yes, I'm simply hooking right into the FEL ports.
This picture shows them hanfing down more than they do now. I pulled some of the slack back to the cylinder, them tied them.

With your hoses and quick connects you have duplicated what John Deere offers as another rear remote option for the JD790. The only differents is that they use 2 90 degree elbows (you only used 1) coming off the quick connect to get the hoses up under the tractor. Looks good and a inexpensive way to get TNT. I went the way of adding the rear auxiliary remote kit ($160) and then a 3 valve control, hoses and quick connects, and 3 cylinders to get mine.

A picture does say a thousand words, doesn't it! Makes all the sense in the world now. Sharp looking tractor you've got there also /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

<font color=blue>they use 2 90 degree elbows</font color=blue>

I like that idea. I've been wondering how to pull that up closer to the machine/w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif.

I remember talking to you before about how you did yours ($$$); that was a big part of the reason I went this route. Remember, though, I only got Top, no tilt.
