Hey guys,
First post here. I bought a b8200 hst from a co worker this past summmer. Since then I have been getting things freshened up. New fluid and filters, new seat, new lights, fixed the flashers, solved an oil leak (oil pressure sending unit) and some other odds and ends. Anyways, I am now in the process of replacing the front hydraulic lines. The tractor has a full cab with heat, a two spool loader valve, and a b2020 front blade for snow. As I’m getting into this I now realize my hydraulics are odd. The two spool loader valve has two lines that run from the rear block and utilize the same port. There is a third line from the loader valve that runs down to the mid pto. Everything works fine but why would they hook it up this way? Although I have nothing attached to the rear, it could be annoying if I did because the loader valve for the blade also operates the 3 point at the same time. Aside from the loader valve I can still operate the 3 point with the control lever. I’m thinking while I am doing these front four lines, to maybe re plumb the whole loader valve from the front block which would correct this strange set up. Any advice or tips would be great? I am new to tractors but having fun working on it. Thanks
