Seed Tender Hydraulic Manifold Replacement

[albertarancher]

I have a older Lode King seed tender that has 2 hoppers. We use it to fill our seed drill with grain and fertilizer. The manifold has quit working on the seed tender and I need to figure out a replacement for it.

The manifold works by attaching to tractor hydraulics, and tractor battery for power. The manifold will switch directions for the auger depending on which solenoid is energized. There is wiring that goes from the solenoids to switches on the fill spouts.

Any help on where I could find a new manifold, or the parts necessary to build a manifold would be greatly helpful.

Without more pictures or brand name, it is difficult to help with rebuilding that one.
Two options here. One could be what you have now.

We need to determine if @albertarancher needs a diverter like @TractorTech posted or a two spool solenoid valve. Also if the valves are running hydraulic motors then they need to be a motor spool or if they are running cylinders. There is a hose on each end and four hoses coming out. This means it is a single diverter valve or a two spool. If its a two spool and on cylinders then the cylinders are double acting. I cannot make any more guesses without more information.

Sorry for the confusing description @Sportsman762, hopefully I can give a better explanation of what is going on.

The two hoses pointing downward from the manifold attach to the tractor SCV. There are tow pairs of hoses on the top of the manifold block. One pair goes to one hydraulic motor attached to an auger, the other pair goes to the other hydraulic motor attached to another auger. There are four solenoids total. Two solenoids associate with each auger (pair of hydraulic hoses) on the top of the manifold, controlling the direction of flow (direction the auger turns) depending on which solenoid is energized.

I sincerely apologize its taken me so long to respond to this thread. Any help in finding a replacement for this manifold would be greatly appreciated.

You need a 2 spool solenoid valve with motor spools. Since this is run off of the rear remotes I will assume it is under 10GPM flow.
Summit Hydraulics offers one that should work. You will need to modify the existing harness or buy one with the valve as the connectors are different.

The summit valve uses #8 O-ring Boss fittings so I am not sure if you will need adapters or not to reuse your current hoses. If you have any questions tag me like you did in the prior post, as I am bad at following up. Keep us posted on what you decide and how it works.

That looks to be what I need @Sportsman762! I did a little research and pioneer fittings will flow 12GPM, so I think that manifold is sized correctly.

Appreciate the help and I'll update once I have it in

10 GPM was a ball park, they can flow more but the pressure drop starts growing pretty good. 18 GPM would be a great way to heat the oil up fast.
Below is from the parker 3900 catalog for the ISO 5675 Ag tips. If you need to flow more flush face 1/2" body are good to 20 gpm.

Don't know if you have gotten your parts yet but this outfit seems to be almost reasonable with fairly decent quality parts.
