I wanted a auxiliary valve control on the BIG ORANGE to operate home built goodies (Grapple in front and Log splitter rear). So here is one way U can do it if you would like to waste some green and have fun doing it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif


1. Start to break it down and location of valve.

4. Built the bracket and attached to valve. Grapple cylinder shown also.

$88 bucks per hand full.....Fitting are expensive.
