I am going to add a couple of remotes to my L4200 using my PB circuit (previously backhoe only) to run my snowblower hydraulics, but have been having trouble identifying the existing parts to which I have to connect. My backhoe and snowblower have the same male quick-couple connectors on their hoses. All of the remote connectors that I have ever seen look the same too - a guy at the dealer called them 1/2" something. What I need is a link to drawings of the common connectors, so I can measure what I have and compare, I guess.
Also, I was looking at valves at that Surplus on-line place - it looks like I can get a suitable 2-spool DA valve set for ~$140. There are also lots of valves with no handles that all seem to be ~$40. Do the handles cost $100? I really wanted a joystick, which seems a perfect match for chute control, but they are a bit pricey. OTOH, dual sticks would be better for future universal use.
What do folks typically do for mounting brackets? I have to re-mount my existing PB connector bracket (will interfere with 3pt hitch when hoses are connected) and have to mount whatever new valves I end up getting.
