Loader MIE electric diverter valve DK40SE (for FEL grapple)

[CubicleFarmer]

For the life of me, I can't figure out how this thing is supposed to mount to the tractor! Bob assures me that I have the right mounting bracket for my specific model, but I can't get it to work. Unfortunately, the tractor is currently out of production, so he can't snap photos to illustrate the installation for me. If anybody has one, would you please post some photos of the actual valve, and its mounting to the bottom of the tractor? Thanks.

Well, for my DK45SEH, I have the WR long 3rd function kit from Everything Attachments, which may (or may not) be the same as what you've got. I can't take a good photo of it now, but here it is, zoomed in from an existing picture I have. Maybe it will be of some help until i can get a better photo later today.

I do remember the instructions that came with it were terrible, and the valve was mounted backwards on the bracket when i received it, so it did not quite fit at first.

Thanks. I have a diverter valve, not the 3rd function connected to the rear hydraulic system. The MIE connects into the loader valve, and redirects the roll function hydraulics to operate the grapple when an electrical switch is closed.

my bad, carry on

It turns out that Kioti made a change in the floor board supports somewhere along the way, so there is a 3rd variation of the bracket required, which is the one I have (and one they hadn't encountered yet). Bob and his engineer and fabricator have been most helpful in trying to figure out the issue. I'll find out next week, when I get the new part, if the issue is resolved. I'm hopeful.
