Remote Hydraulics for Ford 3600

[TNSuperC]

I just bought a hydraulic remote for my 3600. I am in the process of de-greasing, cleaning, and painting. I am including some photos and have questions about the install.

1. Some of the recessed ports have O-rings in them (see the attached photo). Do all the ports need O-rings?
2. I don't think the bolts in the cover (where the valve will be installed) are long enough to install the remote valve. Does anyone know the length bolt needed to install a factory hydro valve?

All ports need orings.
The bolts need to be long enough to go through the valve you are installing and extend into the hitch cover the same distance as the bolts used to attach the accessory cover you are removing.

Thanks RickB.

I now have o-ring kit. Would appreciate any advice on the install. I have a ford maintenance manual but I cannot find procedures for this install.

Shut your tractor off.
Place the three point quadrant lever fully forward/down.
Clean the front of the lift cover and the accessory cover or diverter valve, whichever is present on your tractor.
Remove accessory cover or diverter.
Remove any o-rings stuck to the exposed part of the hitch cover, thoroughly clean the area.
Install o-rings & seals from the kit in the proper locations in the bottom of your remote.
Place the remote on the hitch cover so the bolt holes line up, being careful that all O-rings remain in place.
Re-use the two short bolts and install two long bolts of the proper length as discussed above.
Torque all bolts to standard hardware accepted torque values, or until comfortably tight.
Connect hoses and couplers as desired.
Start your tractor and check for leaks.
