jimna spools

Ronbo · Mar 29, 2004

I have a Nortrac 254 with FEL. I want to add T&T. I am thinking that if the spools are Prince, I can just add a coulpe more to the stack. Does anyone know what brand the spools are? If they are not prince, will prince fit up to them?

Just a thought.

I do not know for sure, ask SCOTT from Northern he is here often. What is the loader brand name? Kokyer or Great Bend>? I'm not sure which but you can contact the loader manufacture and ask for additional spools if it is either one, and probably can buy them dirrectly form Northern too.

The loader came on the tractor from northern tools.

So which one should it be?

Northern use to use Great Bend. Their newer tractors are coming with FELs from a different US supplier. You should be able to find a name on a plate, somewhere.

Spiker has good advice, Northern uses Great Bend & they would be best to advise you.

I talked with Brian today. He advised that my FEL is made by Amerequip. They inform me that the valve is a Cross valve from
Cross Mnfg.
The search continues.

Hey since we are on the topic of spools, anyone have a sorce for the JINMA ZL20 spools? I'm thinking it may be easier to add soppls to the existing valve to run hyd to the 3pt implements.!? to run wood splitters ect. just use HOSE or lines to run to the back and add QD's too, maybe a cheaper method than adding a new spools and power beyond blocks ect on the fenders since my FEL stays on 100% of time anyhow!? and then could even run line up the FEL for Front omount equipment right ON the FEL add QDs at the bucket or so and pull up to the item to change it's stored state ect or run in my case my dump trailer while the trailer is hooked to the truck. (easy to do useing a welder and splicing into the existing lines add ing a QD and cap there but then have to rely on the curl and or bucket lift arms down only. this is FINE as long as you can run the bucke through it's full travel but then you can't use the lift side if you need more thn one fiting/movement.

Thisis exacltly what I am looking into. Cross Mfg gave me some info. It is doable if I can identify my vavles. The new vavles would have to go on the input side as the last valve that goes to the return is a special valve.

I will keep you informed

Just to keep you informed, The engineer from Cross Mfg called me. He says it is doable. He is going to email the part numbers for th etwo spools and bolts.

I will keep everyone informed.

Ronbo:

thanks, any word as to the cost yet? the weight of the spools would be about 3 lbs each and shippable form china by fed ex for about 15 + parts cost. i would assume that total per spool would be less than 50 with or headles or maybe with? I'll have to send a few questions to the china contacts I made years back and see. One bad thing is my valves are in shape where the tag is gone so I can't find any Part #'s on them... it was that way when I got it. and never had any manuel with it... (tractor stuff ya but no ZL 20 or JW 03 hoe spec parts lists.
