Hello my biggest hang up is the loader shifter is coming from under the seat on the b2601 and on my b7610 it is on the loader hydraulic cluster on the (la302 which is what is loader that is made for my tractor, ) right of the steering wheel.

ideas ?
I am more of a phone guy so please feel free to call.
Please PM me if you have a solution

I’d delete your number from here.

You will jave to move the old valve to the new loader.. Or possibly buy a new valve if the old valve is junk.

I hope it’s not the LA435S “swif-tach” model. E.g. truly an LA435 w/o the “S”. I have the “swif-tach” version and I think all of those mechanisms are junk waiting to break with a cross look. Several youtube videos of folks unceremoniously neutering their FELs of the swif-tach parts. Pretty funny.

Outside of that, do you have all the mounting brackets for the FEL to attach to the tractor? If not, I think you’ll want to source those and not be afraid to cut and weld as necessary to fit your B7610.

As to the valve, maybe you can copy how it’s mounted to the FEL like the older Ls. I have tractors which have it both ways. I like it mounted to the FEL myself. I like the Pioneer / Agricultural hydraulic couplings better than the flat face couplings. YMMV. May as well plumb in a third function while your at it.

Best of luck with it.

"I like the Pioneer/agricultural hydraulic couplings better than the flat face couplings"
Me too!
I think that we may be in the minority here though.

For agricultural couplers I like these - ISO 5675 compatible, sleeveless push/pull connect under pressure.

That sure looks good, but at my age, I ain't gonna replace all my couplers at $55+ tax+ship.
