Hello all. I have fitted a 30-year-old Fisher 6 ½ foot plow to my HST B7500. I have a few questions I would like to get some input on.
I would like to use the tractors hydraulic system to operate the plow.
The tractor has a LA302 FEL. The control manifold/hydraulic block for the FEL is a B03501. I do not think I can use the FEL control manifold directly to operate the plow because the FEL uses double acting hydraulic cylinders, and the plow uses single acting cylinders. I have the original control manifold for the plow. All I need to do is get a hydraulic line with constant pressure and another one that will return to reservoir connected to the original plow manifold.
Question 1: Of the 3 lines coming into the LA 302 control manifold which is the constant pressure, and which is the return to reservoir?
Question 2: is the return line pressure relatively low (10-20 psi)?
I will flush the plows hydraulic system with Kubota UDT2 prior to connecting to tractors hydraulic system. I am thinking of installing an in-line filter on the return side to ensure nothing that has made its way into the plow system over the last 30 years gets into the Kubota.
Question 3: what is a good in-line filter that would fit this application?
Thanks in advance for answers/advice
