I tend to agree with you. I was just trying to figure out what it is. It appears to feed back toward the backhoe so it maybe for running something like a load splitter from the ground. Perplexing.Post a couple pictures of the valve.
To answer your original question, if the valve is a double acting directional control valve it could be used for a third function. But based on your description it may not be a directiobal control valve. My suspicion is it is a diverter for the backhoe. Even if it is a directional valve it would be terribly inconvenient as a third function. .Adding an electric 3rd function control vslve between the loader PB and the mystery valve is a much better way to go.

I'm leaning toward an electric 3rd function, probably summits. They have one for a l39 and l47. Which one is closer to a l45? Does the pressure feed to it come off the loader PB port?Hmmm. The online l45 parts definitly ,(??) has the 3pt linkage in the options section. In any event Eric probably wants an electric third function. I currently have a manual valve on mine. It wirks OK but less than optimal. It was supposed to be a "quick and dirty" while I engineered my own electric version but fibrotic lungs got in the way of the quick part. Its back on my bucket list for this summer.
Hard to answer those questions with any certainty.I'm leaning toward an electric 3rd function, probably summits. They have one for a l39 and l47. Which one is closer to a l45? Does the pressure feed to it come off the loader PB port?
I have tried to attach the file. It keeps line through it. Did it come throughI was thinking home brew as well but for what? Hopefully we get film by 11.

You really need to post a picture of what your looking at, get a kid, or grandkid to do it for you if your not tech Inclined!I'm leaning toward an electric 3rd function, probably summits.

View attachment 173975I have what appears to be some kind of mid remote that is operated via a handle. It is feed from the PB off the loader control valve. Can I feed a 3rd function? Any one seen anything like this? Would I be better off feeding a hydraulic control valve directly off the subject PB

I will take yourcword for it
I think I may see a fifth under the one Wolfman circled. And is that a relief on top?I will take yourcword for it![]()
I agree that there are (probably) two hoses at the front of the valve. There is also the one at the rear and one on the side.I think I may see a fifth under the one Wolfman circled. And is that a relief on top?

Fifth makes sense but my eyes can't see the fourth. Definitly a relief. Looks like a (well done) DIY.I think I may see a fifth under the one Wolfman circled. And is that a relief on top?
