Will this work on a TC24DA?

( I counted at least 12 hoses in this pic and I'm not sure where they would all go )

From the original post. I also counted 12 hoses. There are some behind others. There are also 12 hose connections on those diverters, 6 on each that are clearly marked and visible.

MadRef,

On that Eaton-Cessna valve which should be here in a couple of days, a question.

The PBYD off the loader is 3/8" line. Normally this is hooked to another 3/8" line via quick connect to supply the 3pth. When the BH is attached it connects to this QC and too is supplied with a 3/8" line and has a 1/2" return to tank line.

Question is, would I be okay with 3/8" supply to Eaton valve, 3/8" PBYD back to 3pth, 3/8" cylinder lines and 1/2" return to tank from Eaton valve?

Many hydraulic shop professionals use the next biggest size for the return to tank line. My guy does. It is not a pressure line so bigger will not matter.

However, I and others (ie Jinman) recommend 1/4" hoses for the TNT connections from the aux valve work ports. The slightly restricted line will give more precise feathering capabilities. I also makes it easier to plumb.

Or simply add a inexpensive restrictor to slow things down a bit.
