I read your original post 4 times and I am even more confused than ever. I thought I had a handle on it, but now I'm not so sure at all.

This is what I have on my 750. I have an open center, constant flow 2030 psi gear pump, driven by engine. I think it's a 9cc pump with a 4 gpm. I wanted to tap into the power beyond line right after my remote cylinder valve. Which solenoid would be best for me? Please help.

It is up to you what you want to do.

If you want to control a grapple at full flow and full speed, then get a 3rd function solenoid valve, and uses a push button .

If you want to control the grapple using the joystick, then get the selector/diverter valve. You can feather the grapple.

If you want a remote valve, then get a 2 or 3 spool remote valve with maybe float, detent, etc.

Seeing my setup from post #32 and knowing that I want a third function, can you recommend a solenoid for my tractor that costs less than $200? maybe around $150. Would the one irsmun used on his tractor be good for mine? Thanks.

12 VDC 10 GPM OC DA SOLENOID VALVE

1 STATION DO3 SUBPLATE OPEN CENTER

Just match up fittings and some hose and a place to mount the valve.

Then wire up the solenoid so it has power when tractor switch is on.

Thanks J.J. I added the stuff to my cart. Do you happen to know if forum members get a discount? Thanks.

I am not sure, but you can ask.

Tell then I refer many people to their web site.

How does the solenoid attach to the block? Is there gasket material between the two mating surfaces? just seems like a lot of pressure between the joining surfaces.

That's a good question that I never thought about.

The tech at Surplus said o-rings come with the valve.
