hydraulic manifold ?

[wheelbuilder]

I'd like to possibly (price dependent) add hydraulics to my 1502 without cutting the lines.
I see some members have had a manifold made. What sort of costs are involved ?
Am I better off trying to source a used manifold ? Is cutting the lines and tying in a better option price wise ?

Sorry for so many questions in one post.

My TX1500F runs the loader from the outlet at the end of the lifting arm ram, then has the return plumbed back via the filling cap under the seat. It isn't ideal as you can't use the loader and rear link at the same time, you have to shut off the loader first - but is is a simple system with no cut lines. I've actually always meant to convert it to a more elegant system but haven't had the time. If I did I would use a control block.

I did find a setup from hoye tractor that would convert the pump hard line to a hose, which I could plumb to a spool and cylinder, then come back to the 3 point inlet. I think I'll investigate this to be sure it would fit, then I'll still have the hard line intact should I need it.

Looks an interesting solution - how do the end fittings connect to the pipe, looks like they need to be swaged on?

 

[wheelbuilder]

It looks like Hoye's setup attaches at the hydraulic pump and provides a fitting to connect to a hose which replaces the pipe. You'd connect this to your spool. The tank port from the spool would then connect to another hose which would attach to a fitting from hoye returning to the point where the old hard line connected to the 3 point input.

I've got to get back to my tractor and check that the fitting would connect correctly.

Here are pictures of the one on my G154/TX1300F
I though I made a sketch of this manifold but I
can't find it. I will take it back off and measure
it and make a new sketch if you are interested.

Thank you, those are a help !
Did you need any special sort of spool ?

 

[fxrs55]

The spool valve was already on the tractor when I got it.
I believe the valve and the manifold along with hydraulic
hoses and snow blade were dealer installed. I have
see my setup on other tractors.

It is a little late but I suggest you read the info I provided to another Iseki owner about adding hydraulics.

Your hydraulic system is a "Open Center," one so you cannot just create a manifold to distribute the pressure as, at any control valve, there will be an easier route for the hydraulic fluid to flow than into the circuit where you want pressure. Power Beyond needs to feature in your plans.,

With only 3GPM and 1850 max PSI...depending on what the op has in mind for utilizing the new hydraulics for...I would consider an independent pump/system...
