WR Long Third Fuction on LS Tractor

ssbogger · Feb 8, 2018

Just got my third function kit from Everything Attachments and am having some installation difficulties. I'll admit, I'm not a hydraulic guru but I do feel that I can read a set of instructions and turn a wrench. I've spent the past two hours searching this forum, google, youtube, etc. On to my issues...

1. I can not figure out what the loader valve is. Is it the one with the joystick and 4 hoses that go to the FEL attached to it or the one mounted below the floor board. (see pictures)
2. Which port on the valve below the floor board is the power beyond port? The three ports with hoses coming out of them going to the joystick valve are labeled "T", "R", and "P2".
3. Did I mount the WR Long assembly in the correct location? This is the only location I can find that it will mount with mounting bracket provided. When mounted in this location the hose supplied will not reach the valve below the floor board where I am supposed to connect it.

I may be missing something obvious. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks in advance.

I am not familiar with the WR Long valve. I don't know if it is a power beyond or a tank line that has to be converted that is coming out. You can call WR Long and they will help.
The one with the joystick is your loader valve. The line labeled R is the power beyond from the loader valve I believe. Take that hose to your power in for the new valve.
If the WR Long valve is power beyond then you would come from it to the fitting labeled R.
Maybe someone else can explain it better but it should be fairly simple.

Call here and ask for Rick H. 828-464-1200 He's our newest parts guy, but him n Ted go wayyyy back. He's been a tractor mechanic his whole life, most recently for a Kubota/Mahindra/NH Dealership, and has installed countless WR Long 3rd function kits!
He'll be glad to get you on the right track!

Thanks to Rick H. and the EA crew for getting me on track.
It turns out that I was sent the wrong hose with the WR Long kit and thats where a lot of the confusion came from. The hose I received would not reach with the third function valve mounted as pictured.
My Wicked grapple came in Friday and I really wanted to give it a try. Naturally I rigged up a temporary mounting bracket for the valve in a location that would let the shorter hose work.

I have added a picture to show which hose is the power beyond on a LS XG3025 with a LL3110 loader.
