installing 4 in 1 bucket on Ford 545A

Eldoradojim · May 9, 2015

does anyone have any diagrams or info on how to plumb the hydraulics on my Ford 545A? I am buying a used 4 in 1 bucket and it is supposed to come with the control valve and some hard piping, it is off of a Ford tractor and will fit, just not sure how to add a second control valve,Help Please, Jim

Ideally you would swap out the two spool valve for a three spool,looking at the online parts drawing there is only the two spool valve shown so I take it the valve that came with the 4 in 1 is a single spool,to plump that into the circuit trace the line from the pump to the loader control valve,find the return from the control valve to the reservoir,remove that from the C/V,connect a new line from there to the in on the 4 in 1 valve,connect the original return line to the out on the 4 in 1 valve,connect the cylinder lines,basically what you have done is put the return from the loader control valve through the 4 in 1 valve and that will work fine,sorry I have no diagram.
