Ford 1520
I'm hoping this is an easy question. I am trying to connect a FEL to a Ford 1520. The loader has 2 hoses that need to connect to the hydraulic manifold diverter valve on the tractor, but the tractor has 3 ports. I believe they are labeled inlet, outlet and maybe return. Does anyone know that ports I need to use? The loader is a 770B (which I know doesn't exactly fit this tractor but I built a custom mounting bracket). Just need to figure out which ports to use to attach. Pictures would be great.
Thanks.

I have a 1620, I will look at connections today. If you do NOT use control screw , 3 point hydraulics will NOT Function. I have a Koyker 150 loader. Photos of my owner's manual are duplicates, whichever are easier to read, pay close attention to control screw, could damage 3 point hydraulics if in wrong position.

The port marked "return" is NOT used on my tractor

I’ve got a 1720 with a 770B loader too. Not the loader that belongs on it either. I’ll take a pic of the valve. Maybe that will help.

Morning Wood, Can you tell me how many hydraulic lines go to the hydraulic manifold diverter valve? My loader control valve only has 2 lines, which I assume are pressure and return but the hydraulic manifold on the 1720 has 3 ports. Not sure if it is allowed but can you email me the pics directly? Thanks.

Majorwager, those are the exact ports I have on my 1520. When I connect the loader to outlet and return and turn the screw counter clockwise the loader operates, but no 3pt operation. If I turn the screw back clockwise the loader does not work and the 3pt do not work. If I physically disconnect the loader lines from the manifold and put plugs back in (with screw turned clockwise) the 3pt works. May try tomorrow hooking to outlet and inlet instead of outlet and return. Thanks.
