Wow, you are SO lucky. The kit for the 3x20 tractors look to be much more involved. This is 90% of the kit, there are a few more peices not pictured here.

Looks great, please take some detailed pictures for us

Hiya,

What did it set you back?

Got a part number?

Thanks,

Tom

Part No. LVB25823 $393

It will give a extra pair of couplers but you will lose either the up/down or roll/curl of the loader when switched to it.

That is a pretty good deal. I gave $350 for a fasse diverter to put on my 2520, and then had to buy hoses and qc's plus make a mounting bracket. JC

Will this kit be an electric diverter kit?

Will this kit be an electric diverter kit?

No, its manual. There is a push/pull T-handle that is located behind your right heal.

Newt,

Where does the kit locate the new remotes? Front, mid or rear?

Thanks,

Tom

I believe it's mid, so you can easily add a grapple or use the tilt function on a front blade.

The kit has a bracket that mounts the extra 2 ports next to the mid SCV. Just to let everyone know, it only gains one pair, so you have three pairs of SCV ports. When you useing the third SCV you loose one of the orginal functions.

For my use as an example, I have a pull type box scraper that I use and want to be able to use the loader if needed, so all I will have to do is pull the knob. I am going to mount the third ports on the rear of the tractor.

The kit I got had the wrong size fittings (the elbows that thread into the valve) so had to take back.

Newt,
You could get fancy and mount couplers for the new remote at the mid positon AND the rear, just "T" the lines together.

Kenny, thats a good idea! I already have the re-router kit on the tractor. When I install the diverter kit, I will run the third set of couplers to the rear using one set of couplers from the router kit, and leaving the other hoses under the tractor from the router kit for the second set of couplers on the rear, if you follow me. I don't have, nor don't plan to have a MMM or grapple for my loader. Key words "don't plan"!!

Put the kit on today. Went well, only one trip back to the dealer for some different fittings. This kit will allow me to have the loader on and hooked up and also have my pull type box scraper at the same time. When I want to use the hydroaulics on the scraper I pull the handle by my right foot and disable the raise/lower function of the loader and now have raise/lower function of the scraper. I may also install a cylinder on my rear blade for next winter.

Picture 1 shows the valve. The two hoses that run up are going to the rear outlets of the re-router kit that I already had on tractor.

Picture 2 is another shot of the valve and hose routing.

Picture 3 gives a shot of the rear outlets.

Picture 4 is what my mid SCVs look like now with the loader hooked up.

Great job, Thanks for the follow up

Great Job - looks like a fun project. Let us know how it works for you.

Cheers,
Brad

Thanks for the info and posting the pics,

I have a question about the re-router kit you mentioned. Does this allow you control rear hydaulics using the DSCV? Or, is it like Power Beyond, and you would need the implement to have its own valves?

If it controls the rear hydraulics using the DSCV, and you have a FEL, how do you switch between the controls?

And, if it is switchable, what happens to the inactive hydraulic circuits?

For example, could I use the re-router kit to operate a pair of TnT cylinders on the 3PH and have it hold position while using the FEL and vise-versa?

Hey Nate, The rerouter kit is four hoses that you hook into the mid SCV and has 4 outlets to the rear. The outlets in the picture on the back of the tractor are from the rerouter kit. You have to unplug the loader in order to use the rerouter kit.

The diverter kit gives only 1 extra function. Like I said in my situation, I will be able to have my loader hooked up, and have my pull type box scraper hooked up all at the same time, however, in order to raise or lower the box scraper I have to pull a lever by my right foot and divert one function on my loader (the raise/lower on loader) to operate the box scraper. Your situation, would be the same except you would only be able to run one of the cylinders, unless you could Y it somehow and put valves on both and switch that, if that makes sense?

When I relay things from my brain to my fingers to the keyboard, things tend to sound more confusing than it really is.
