Too fat/lazy/old to unlock your SSQA?????……..Then follow me ;)

Coach Scissors,
An update, I have been doing a bunch of switching between bucket and forks doing my wood shed project from the comfort of the seat.
Glad You let me on your hydraulic team for the win.
I have it connected to the 3rd function and have to remember to keep that switched off.
I was planting some trees yesterday and wanted to use the thumb which uses the 3rd function and stopped my self from turning that on.
So I finally got that valve ordered and looking up a list of fittings and short hoses on surplus center.
I will wait until I have the valve in hand to finalize that.
I did stick the ball valves I had on hand in both lines to the front 3rd function vale and have them throttled so the speed is at a nice level. Still need to get a flow restricter too.

It is a beautiful thing this project!
Thanks for the motivation with this thread.

I got my diverter valve yesterday and it came with no documentation for the ports so I went looking.
Just thought I would share what I found.
P1 & P2 seemed obvious, then in the static position ports C&D go to the grapple, then energized position ports A&B go to my SSQA cylinder.
That cleared up in my mind how you would stack them.
I'm sure this is obvious to many but to some like me it might be helpful.
