L4310 Enhancements

[MChalkley]

Gordon - Do you mean the 4-in-1 bucket solenoid valves, or the 3-point hitch side link solenoid valves? (Congrats on the L4310! Great tractor! - assuming, of course that you got HST... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif)

As for the questions, ax away (other than about selling the tires). I think I'll be able to stick around quite a bit more this time.

Scruffy - Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know the pics had bitten the green wienie...

Of course it's a HST! Very nice only have 46hrs on it so far. Have alot of add ons that I want to do. Some I need to do.

What I'm interested in so far is the 3-point solinoids. Do you remember what brand make model etc. are they? What style of switch as well. How have these held up so far? Any problems or anything that you would do different next time around.

I've also been looking at a hydraulic multiplier. for the three point. Some one on the board has one from this company. http://www.vandminc.com/vmsite/vm/list.html

At this time I've only got the hydraulic toplink. Still researching the other stuff. There have been alot of people who have gone the tnt route. Pretty much all different. I know that I don't want any spool valve on the fender.

I'll save all my tire questions for the time being. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hey Mark,
Nice to see you around. Hope life has slowed down enough to visit more often. Your advice is missed.

Bird & MarkV - Thanks! I hope to be around a lot more, too. It may still be in fits and spurts, but hopefully a lot more overall.

Gordon - I don'r remember which valves I used, but I've got the factory sheet on them somewhere - I'll dig it up. I'll also take some pictures and post them. I can't really think of anything I would've done differently, though. The only thing I've had to fix is one hose that blew out, and the toggle switch that turns them on and off got a little flaky on me and had to be replaced.

Good to see you back on here Mark. Maybe you can solve my power steering problem.......

Gordon - Here's a pic of the rear solenoids. I haven't dug up the info on brand, model, etc., but I'll try to post it tomorrow.

Here's another shot of the rear of the tractor, this one showing the auxilliary hydraulic ports supplied by the solenoids (the top four) and the backhoe (the bottom two). Also, the top- and side-link cylinders. Also visible is the Bradco backhoe subframe. Just left of the left side of the ROPS is the rear backup alarm.

Here's an overall rear view showing tires, mostly... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Here's a shot of the console. Left to right: Accessory outlet, switches for spare circuit, rear flood light, rear trapezoid lights, and front trapezoid lights, real hour meter above switches, rotary switch to select HST, oil, water, and spare temp sensors, temp gauge, anti-theft switch, and R & B slope indicator.
