Question on the PT boom mower hyd supply

[m5040]

I just bought the used boom mower that was on the PT site. Can anyone shed light on how the aux hyd circuit (quick attach control) is held permanently in the on position?

Any other advice on the attachment?

I made a block of wood to use as a wedge to hold it on. I cut a groove in the block

A few more pictures. I have added a wooden handle, but the block size should be the same

I hope this helps.

I will take a look. The 1460 has a lot more room between the "dash" and the valve and the angle is not a direct shot, more like pushing forward more then down. I was hoping that it should have came with a device to hold it and I was missing it.
thanks for your input!

Why do you need to hold the AUX PTO in the ON position?

I think he is using the wrong hydraulic circuit…. He is using the quick disconnect hydraulics……

I am using my auxiliary hydraulics for the winch.

The boom linkage has it's own 3 spool control valve and needs hyd power. So the one aux circuit from the quick disconnect control converts to 3 circuits of the mower.
