Installing a small FEL on Kubota tractor

[zman007007]

thanks Sam, I wil let you know how it turns out. Also on the right side of the tractor it does have the hyd. block,. with a 1/4 plug in it. I am thinking about hooking the pressure side [in]of valve into it and teeing the return line, into a fitting where the fill plug goes. Hopefully if that works I would be able to use both at one time.

Well I tried to hooked up the pressure line to the plug on the 1/4 plug on the hyd. block and nothing. even now it wont work the 3 pt. hitch. So I know this wont work. lol I will have to pull the plate off the side and see what is inside. Then I will figure it out from there. Obviously it does have the bypass tunnel in it. If I have to I can drill and tap it if needed. any comments let me know. I appreciate the help of any kind. zman

Wellllllllllllllll, I figured I would try it again before I unhooked everything and started over. I cranked up the tractor and pulled on the 3 point lever to raise the box scrape, [it didnt move] and left it in the up position, mine, I dont know if its right or not, but you have to push it back to neutral. I know if you push the lever all the way to the front, to lower it, it floats. Meanwhile back at the ranch,[lol] I pulled on the up lever for the FEL and it raised, the lower lever worked fine, and also the tilt backwards and forward worked. At the end of the stroke for the tilt or raise,it would pick up the 3 ph. It"s got dark here now, and I dont have the glamor of a nice inside shop, it will have to wait till tomorrow. I will check it out more tomm. zman

Well I took the outside hyd. block cover off today and it does have a bypass tunnel in it, so I will have to try to drill and tap it so I can put a plug in it. I will probably drill and tap from the end that doesnt already have the 1/4 plug, so as not to mess up the threads on it. Then I will either use this hole to use as a return, or I may drill and tap through the sides. If anyone has ever done this before let me know of any problems you may have had. thanks alot zman

And a few pictures of the Wheel Horse too, please?

Its not on a wheel horse anymore. It was on one originally, then a small MF-12 garden tractor. Its on a Kubota B7100HST now. I will take some pics in a little while and post them.As far as the fun, it was more of a learning experience. lol
