Toolmaker,

This is real easy to do on the B26.

Be sure the valve you get is open center - allows fluid to pass in neutral - and can handle 3000 PSI and 7 GPM.

Install the valve on the hose that supplys the backhoe. There are quick couplers in the middle that you have to recouple to make the hitch work once you remove the backhoe. Install here but you likely will have to get an extension hose made so it will mount on the fender or wherever.

On the Harley rake, you may need to add a flow control as you won't need 7 GPM to reposition the rake - likely it would move too fast and not be what you want.

Anyhow, easy to do as the tractor already is plumbed with a power beyond for the hoe so just add the OC valve in series.

Good luck!
