Parts breakdown for optional hydraulics ?

Rmart30 · Jun 11, 2013

Ive looked on a couple of websites (messicks etc) and also tried calling a couple of local dealers to get a parts breakdown or a PDF for installation instructions showing the rear remote valves, plumbing etc for a L series. No one can come up with a parts breakdown.
I was interested in how they plumbed the factory one in and such and how the added a 2nd remote valve.. Anyone know where to find one of the breakdowns ?

Messicks parts diagrams is the place to find what you need. Just put in the model of your tractor and choose options and they'll email you the parts diagrams.

You probably have a hyd block, and there is a PB out port that runs to the back for the 3pt.

Once you get your new valve with PB, mount it in a good place.

Run a hose from the hyd block PB out to the IN port of the new valve.

Run a hose from the new valve PB OUT to the 3pt input.

Run a hose from the OUT port to a return/tank port.

You should now have a series path from pump to hyd block to FEL, from FEL back to hyd block, from hyd block to new remote valve, then 3pt, then tank.

You hyd may look something like this.

Rmart30,
I was interested in adding more valves to my L4200, But you right there are no diagrams to be had. I was able to look at a couple Kubota Ls at an auction site nearby and it is a first rate little setup. There is a nice little tap in block by the right fender, with steel lines that branch out to the quick disconnects on the back of the tractor. This allows the levers to sit in the cutouts in your driver cockpit, no cables or added lever action.

I do not know what type of L you have but if you can find one at a salvage yard and get the parts from it, great. If you do not care about looks, just functionality, plumb off the pressure block by the loader block like J_J said, and run to a valve(s) you mount on your fender.
hope that helps....
I ended up with a PTO pump and separate tank and valves for dump trailer and log splitter.

I did find part of a parts breakdown on the messick site in the options section. I knew that its possible to tie in to the other blocks but i wanted to see how/where the factory tied them in to the system at.
It looks to be a very simple factory tie in. I haven't been able to find one on anyone's lot so far that has rear remotes already on it to look at.
When I bought mine none of the dealers I priced at had one in stock with rear hydraulics, or with draft control. If they had I would have probably went ahead and gotten one with those options.
