Massey Ferguson 65 rear hydraulic problem

[JKDmo06]

I recently bought a Massey Ferguson 65 and added a rear remote kit by using the factory diverter valve. When the diverter is in three point mode, the lift arms work fine. I plumbed the top of the diverter valve into the positive port on a double action spool valve and then into a quick connect fitting, then did the same with the bottom of the diverter valve. When I move the valve lever there is action in the lines but not enough to do anything. Anyone have a suggestion?

In an open center hyd system, all valves are supposed to be in series.

There should be unimpeded flow with all valves in neutral.

Gotcha...how can I alter my setup to make that happen?

Open center hydraulics.

If your valve has PB, that will feed the next valve and so and so on.

If your valve does not have PB, then the tank port is sometimes used to feed the next valve.

Also be careful of using QD's in the hyd flow path. If one should become unconnected, you will dead head the pump.

Just be aware that the tank port on most valves is only rated for about 500 psi
