minhoe control

On the newest PT425 what lever operrates the bucket curl? I thought I read that it was the PTO switch/lever. tks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It is the small lever to the right of and under the "dash" that otherwise locks and unlocks the quick-attach mechanism.

After mounting and locking the mini-hoe attachment you unplug the hyd hoses from the locking mechanism and hook them to the hoe. This is the circuit that opperates any attachment that uses a hydraulic cylinder rather than a motor.

Back in October of '03 "mckat" posted a slick and simple way to extend this control lever function to the upper left side of the dash. Check the archives under "Mods or custom attachments".

On my PT-1845 I drilled a hole above the valve and fabricated a new lever assembly on top between the dash console and the existing joy stick. Could be a tighter fit on a 425 though.

Here's the link to MCKAT's post of the really cool hoe control for the left side of the steering column.

He says he's ashamed, but I think he deserves an award! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
