Power beyond front and rear of tractor.

[CalG]

I added a loader valve assembly to my B7200 years back. The tractor has no FEL, but there was a need to lift the front snow thrower. The control valve and support tower came second hand , craigslist IIRC
Anyway, when I plumbed the valve, additional hard lines were run both to the front and rear of the tractor. The lines just "T"
My thinking was, If something comes up at one end that needs fluid power, It is unlikely that anything at the other end will also. So just unplug one pair of couplers, and connect to the ones at the required end of the tractor.
Hard lines and a couple fittings are cheap compared to hoses. cleaner as well.

Plus, there are still a pair of couplers in the middle of the tractor controlled by the "dump and curl" portion of the valve.

More hydraulic options than this little tractor needs. ;-)

What I did was I put a tee in my rear remotes. Ran the lines to a pair Q C at where the loader Q C are, after making a bracket to hold them. That way I can take the loader off, just have 6 QC there now. Then went on up front to QC. Can only use one at a time, If I have my weight box on I use a chain for the top link and unplug my HYD top link. BTY the weight box I put holes in it one for the hyd top link and one for the chain. Then hook the chain under the hyd top link at the tractor.

This is what I did and I'm very pleased as to how well it works.

Yeah I'm still playing around with how I'm gonna run it but all of your input is valuable and has helped. It really makes me see there are allot of ways to run things.

One of you would not happen to know the pb and the tank fittings what they exactly are... Ie size would you so I can order my setup.
