Thoughts on this grapple from a local dealer?

Look at the very next picture in the thread

On the left in the picture......the top 90* fitting is coming out of the PB plug. The bottom one is the Tank line.....and you can see that around on the face is a hex plug right beside that tank port. That plug can be put in the side and you can use the port on the face for tank if you wish

Thanks LD. Got more pics, but too tired to post tonight.

The good news: except for painting, the bulkhead is done.

I would *assume* P T N means P=pump T=Tank N=Next (power beyoNd)
But I would confirm that by hooking up an air supply to the P port and operating the valves and watching what happens when they are operated.

You're exactly right. After looking more at the parts sheet that came with the valve, there is a diagram with world's smallest font size identifying the three ports. You can see that the flow through the valve and the ports identified.

It''s hard to see in this pic, but it's the diagram on the right center of the page. The left center is "P", the right center is "N" and the lower right is "T". The upper left and upper right are the plugged "P" and "T" ports discussed by LD above.

Pics of the valve.

You can see the ports marked "P", "T", and "N" in the upper side of the valve. The valve has now been painted but I don't have pics of it yet.

I didnt noticce those on mone.

Yep, N is where the PB plug goes, T is the two options (top and side) for the tank line....same with P for pressure line

Nice. You decide to make the bulkhead yourself?

It was decided for me. Worked out alright though. A lot easier to drill the six holes than I thought it would be. Good thing I upgraded my old Central Machinery drill press years ago with a real 1/2 hp motor though.

And in other good news:

Construction Attachments and National Implements have sent new mounting hardware for their 3rd Function Kit and should arrive Monday PM. They confirmed that I received the wrong kit; but it was just the wrong metal and bolts, easily fixed.
