Re: I\'m seeking knowledge on remote hydrolics

My IH2500b has the two lever setup for the loader. It worked fine.

Look at your existing loader valve setup. You might be able to add a third valve right to the end of that. You'd end up with 3 levers in a row. Then just put some quick connects and you could run hoses to the front or rear.

The person that I bought my IH from tapped into the lines from the loader valves and ran hoses back to the rear of the tractor, then put a valve and quick connects back there to run hydraulics to 3pt implements. It worked fine, but that made hoses hanging on the right side of the operator's station and made it hard to get in and out of the tractor on that side. Also, since the hoses were just laying there, if they snapped, they could potentially whip the operator to death. If you go this route, be sure to weld on some rings or pipes and run the hoses through them every so often.

Can you tell who manufatcure the valves?

Or, like you said, maybe your tractor already has some ports on the back, that you could just tap in to. Check with your dealer's service department. They should be able to tell you if the ports exist.

I've owned a lot of snow plows and that to me is a Western through and through. Western, early models 70 - 80 had either 32 or 34 inch moldboards. From the picture it sure looks like a Western to me.

Is this type of modification / installation a normal or feasible "Do it your selfer project " ?

Here is a closer look of the plow. It may well be a Western.

If you look on the back of the blade, near the front of the picture. You can see the markings of a "white square box. This is where I kinda remember seeing a sticker with the Fisher name on it.

And Yes, I gues there really is more red paint color then rust

To me it is /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Depending on the valve, it could be as simple as cleaning everything really well, removing a few bolts, slipping in a valve section, and bolting everything back together with longer bolts.

Or, cleaning everything, removing two hydraulic lines, installing tees with plugs. Then, when you have the time, run hoses to another valve and do what you need.

The main things I would stress is clean everything and keep contaminates out of the hydraulic fliud.

Ok. I like the sounds of this.

Re: I\'m seeking knowledge on remote hydrolics

Is there a decent source of componants like Northern tool etc. for valve / controls etc. ??

Re: I\'m seeking knowledge on remote hydrolics

Just a thought on the one cylinder vs two issue: remember that these cylinders also effectively brace the plow structurally--if you were only to put one on, the other side of the plow may be weakened substantially. It may also be that the brackets and plow frame are only designed to take push forces on each side, rather than pulls, creating an even greater potential for damage.

Just a thought.
