Did you order hoses and fittings yet? Or are you gonna wait til you get the stuff mounted and take measurements?
MX5100 3-remotes under $500 and TNT under $400. Details.

I ordered everything on your list. My plan is to do the install exactly like you did. Conveniently, our tractors are identical (except under the hood), so it should be pretty easy.

I'm on this same page as well except I want to do a single spool I made a post about it on this forum for suggestions for a valve. If you get a chance LD1 check it out and see what you think about my choice.

You will have to let me know how everything works out.
Do you have someone, or are you able to fab the brackets and the coupler mount

A lot more options with single spool valves. My delima was finding a triple with one spool being float. Pushed me into a valve that is much bigger than I really needed.
Got a link to your thread?

I certainly will. I must admit, I was pretty stoked to see this thread seeing as I've got the same machine and it would take me hours and hours of research and head scratching to put together a list like you did.
I should be able to fab up the mount for the valve and for the outlets. I might get some help from a friend of mine who works in a machine shop.

Hours and hours are exactly what I spent researching and shopping. Trying to get the best setup for the money. I know the MX is quite popular, so hopefully that material list worse out well for you.
I'll send you a bill for my time compiling the material list as well as the how-to instructions

Well,i sure appreciate you doing all the work that went into this thread. I know how long it takes to write up the steps and upload the pics, etc, not to mention remembering to take them in the first place.
I'm sure I couldn't afford your bill (seeing as I just spent a chunk on hydraulic parts
), but I tell you what, you PM me your address and you will have a bottle of maple syrup on your doorstep. I gotta make it first, so it won't be until April, but it would be my absolute pleasure to send you a bottle to thank you for putting this together.

No worries. Only payment I need is just pay it forward. I have been helped out many times by members here. My intent of this thread was to help others.
Just never thought anyone would go through and order my exact list. Kinda putting me on the spot. Hope I didn't forget or overlook anything. And I am pretty sure I mentioned it.....But there was one of the hoses I re-used in all of that and saved having to make one.
And I always have a bottle or two, but my preference for NPT sealer on hydraulics is loctite 545.
As to the mounting block for the couplers, someone else on here used snaprings and a plate. I thing it was ftg-05????Spelling? That would be a simpler and easier install.
Were you going to use flow controls also? When are you getting started?
