Rear Hydraulics

[Boxman88]

I have a new MF 1840M that i had them install rear hydraulics to run a wood splitter. The lever has to be held open to run the fluid to the splitter to run it. Is there a way to hold the lever open. It doesn't have a lock built into it. Is there some after market lock or catch that can be installed? Any idea would be helpful.

We always just used a bungee cord on our john deere. Not fancy but it worked. I use a gas splitter now, as a 6.5hp engine is cheap and easy. Tractors are getting expensive to maintain.

I use a wooden wedge, cut to fit in the space between the lever and the valve housing.
