3rd function project. Where do I tap into for power beyond and where to tap into for return flow? Can you send a photo too? Thanks!

Thanks. I don't think I have 5 photos to post that would mean anything.... Or that anyone needs to see. I guess the 5 photo requirement is to weed out the bots.
My FEL disconnects are color coded. Which one (color) would be power beyond?
Or is the power beyond found in a port on the FEL control valve?
The you tube videos are never of my L3240. Just others with junction blocks that mine does not have. I may go to the local Kubota shop and ask a mechanic to point it out where the tap in and out is on this model.

Yes power beyond will be one of the three lines that are for the FEL valve.
What is the model of the loader?
Yes. Not OEM.OH MY... I just looked up the connections for a third function, YIKES, that's go to be one of the scariest looking set of prints I've ever seen.
Ok start with the basics:
I take it you want to add a generic third function and not a OEM third function right?
Thank you. (Ouch!)Ok now for the ugly news...It can't be done on that model without some serious altering of the hydraulic system, they have not provided a non invasive way to tap into the power beyond circuit.
I was confused as to why it was so hard till I noticed that they did not add at the factory the Block to be able to tie into the Power circuit, the block does not only allows you to tie into the circuit, it also adds the needed pressure relief valve into that circuit, which without it would blow the lines or more likely the seals out of your pump.
And FYI you can't just get the block as the block uses a stock third function valve bolted to it.
Have you already purchased the third function valve?
If you can't return it, you might be able to sell it on here for what you got it for.
You would be far better off getting a diverter valve, that would allow you to tie into the roll circuit to gain a third function for something like a grapple with out the need to tie into the power beyond circuit.
The valve gets mounted on the front of the loader and one wire loom runs to the loader controller in the back.
After getting the bad news I went to my Kubota dealer to speak to a mechanic. He did not seem to be familiar with this model but did show me a plate on top of the transaxle under the seat that on some models can be removed and replaced with a device that gives a power beyond access. I pulled my tractor seat off on my L3240HST and saw a similar plate. It is the plate with two bolts holding it down in photo. Does any one know about the function of the plate and what hydraulics it contains? Could one DIY the converter part?Thank you. (Ouch!)
