You're welcome..good luck with your install.

I traded that tractor in on a L4240 let me see if I have any other photos of the spool valve mount. It was a custom mount that I designed and fabricated.

those "Uni-Bits" are designed for drilling sheet metal. You might be able to drill some 1/8" thick steel but that is about the max. Use a good quality hole saw and cutting fluid, works best in a drill press.

I did consider mounting on top of the fender (with added support of course) But with a four spool valve that's 11 hoses. Pretty busy and potential safety factor if you developed a leak. If I was doing it again I'd used a dedicated valve for the top and tilt. A loader type valve with one control...

Links repaired.

Thought I'd start a new post for the update on the 3rd function install on my L4240. Well I finally got it all installed and it is a much cleaner installation than the factory setup. I found some space underneath the seat for the solenoid valve. Just needed to fabricate a mounting plate for...

I use all 72" attachments on my L3800 Box blade, rake and grader blade The L3800 will handle the 72" box blade just fine

My L3800 with loader, backhoe and loaded tires weighs in at 6130 lbs And requires a minimum 18' trailer to get the tongue weight right. Depending on how often you need to tow the tractor you may consider renting a trailer. I move mine from one property to another twice a year. I can rent a 10k...

What Make, model and year is the truck? If it's a ford you'll need to unplug quite a few modules and the instrument panel. Quote Q123R2.doc Date Revised: 7/17/07 Aftermarket Plasma Cutting/ Welding Operations on F250-550 Trucks Models Affected: All F250-550 trucks; Model Year 2008 and later...

Cool Thanks. I'm kind of surprised that the banjo fittings don't restrict the hydro flow. They look kind of small in the picture.

Dixie Did you get you banjo hard lines from Kubota yet?? I'm curious what type of fittings are on the hose end?

Where did you buy your valve from ? I've been looking at Surplus center for mine.

I guess you could just order the part #250 (7K500-64950) for $45 plus shipping that would convert you to JIC I assume. or remove yours cut it and braze the correct fitting on it. I've ordered the factory Back hoe so I'm all set.
