Rear Remotes

KJ:

Can you post some photos of how you ran your hoses? Thanks. G

I can't really show you how they route through the tractor, but maybe you can tell from these two pics.
They come out the back, on the right when facing the PTO under the R hitch arm. John

Thanks John. G

Here in VA there are many NAPA dealers (parts stores) that can fabricate hoses to order.

I was browsing around TSC today and they have boxed hoses in various diameters and lengths. You have to buy the connectors separate to fit your needs. G

oh boy, john
Have you gotten a little use out of your little friend?
See the hole in the end of the frame below the valve? Usually, the hoses are run from the hoe frame inside the frame rail and out the end to help protect them and keep them safe when stowing away. We would have a quick coupler at the valve for easy disconnect. Just another way, I guess.
It sure looks like you're getting your money's worth from that little guy.

I've had that hole on both ends of the frame plugged completely over with sticks and mud already. My dealer ran the hoses similar to the way John's did, but I have since installed the rear remotes and hope to use those to supply the backhoe from now on.

Did you make up the tubes yourself? Also, what diameter are they. Thanks. G

Gerard,

They are part of the kit that comes. I tried to get a closeup of where they hook in. They are about 3/8" in diameter. The kit includes the tubes, a spool valve, the control lever, a new bracket to hold the 3PH control arm, new bolts and a few other little goodies. I didn't have access to the camera when I installed, so couldn't get any pics.
