adding second aux. valve

[harleyfb]

I have a 2005 kubota m9000 I have one remote and bought a second to put on looks pretty simple got all the parts anyone ever added one and does anyone know the torque setting for the three mounting bolts

 

[old and tired]

Mounting bolts... until it's tight...

The new valve, is it OEM? or aftermarket?

Did it have power beyond? Any links to both valves?

When I put four remotes on my tractor I bought the aftermarket valves sections and two end plates, and just assembled it, without worry about torque on the nuts on the ends of the rods that hold the whole assembly together. I just figured, maybe misguided, and I actually never thought about it, that the O rings between the valve sections would do what they are designed to do, and I was home free. This was about 16 years ago, and no problems have appeared yet. I just snugged up everything the way I thought was reasonable.

So I would suggest that you make sure you get the proper O rings to use when you put the new valve section in. And that you get longer threaded rods (not sure the correct term) to hold the valve sections together, after you add the new section.

If all the hardware is compatable, it is really a simple thing to do.
