Adding a joystick valve for a FEL on an m7950 cab

[ToddC]

I think I found a FEL for my m7950 dt cab, how do I add the valve for the joystick, it currently has 3 hydraulic rear sets if that makes a differences.
Thank Todd

Do you want the standard 2 function joystick or 3 functions for a grapple and such?

 

[ToddC]

I was thinking of just the 2 way
thanks

You can mount joystick handle in cab then route cables though floorboard to frame mounted 2 spool valve

Right now there is a guy on EBay selling a bunch of Kubota controls.
search for Kubota loader they start at the second page.

Another option is an electric controlled set up, with a cab that's a great option super easy to setup IMHO.

How do I mount the spool, I have to add it correct?
Thanks

Depending on which loader you get, it will either have the plate to mount the spool valve or you will need make one and have it attached.

The FEL's I have been looking at do not have the valve on the loader, so a have been looking at joystick valve kits. Does it matter what brand I use?
Should I look at getting a kubota kit and add quick connects for the loader or is any brand good? I found a NH kit at a good price for a cab.
Thanks

Just about any spool valve will work as long as it's an open center valve.

Where do I splice the hydraulic line at on the tractor

Is it a DT (4x4) model?

EDIT: Never mind doesn't matter they are the same setup.

2 options get the factory add-on valves or cut into the supply and return lines.

I'll post some pics tomorrow of it.

That would be great, can I make any of the kits on eBay work, what would the model kit for the kubota be for a dt cab. I think I need a 15 gpm flow rate. I haven't the loader yet but it would be nice to have this part done

Thanks Todd
