Hope that makes sense! HOW DO I KNOW IF ITS POWER BEYOND? Can you send me pics or links to the parts your talking about? I realy want to figure this thing out, thanks alot for your reply!

You will have one marked in, one marked out, and one marked PB or power beyond.. now here is the rub most people get the out and PB mixed up. Out is only a dump back to low presure or tank side. The pb is what will carry the power on to the backhoe valve, IN PORT.. You can buy a seperate relief valve if you need.   [Reply]  [No Email]

That hose is very big and has a fitting on one end that i dont think i can replace and some knuckle head saughtered the other end to stop it leaking. so im trying not to disturb it for now. 2. what if i removed the relief valve and pluged it on the loader? would it then work off the relief valve on the backhoe valve. Would this be combining 3 spools to 6 more waking it work like one 9 spool valve. 3. is there any other option i would love to make this work? thanks again!! 4. Also the plugs i mentioned on the loader valve you can blow air in one and it comes out all 3 even the dump. so i guess no matter wich one i hook to im still hooking to the dump. RIGHT??   [Reply]  [No Email]

Don't plug any relief valves. With open center valves you need to close the open center path to harness the hyd power. The open center path goes to the return after the last spool in the valve bank. To use power beyond the center flow needs to be seperated from the return untill it goes through the remote valve and then the remote valve's return also sent back to return. This gets a bit trickey to advise upon here not knowing your valve because you want to keep the flow to the remote valve seperated from the main valve's return to prevent pressure backing up to places in the main valve it shouldn't go. The only power beyong I have ever set up required a plug be installed inside the valve under the P B fitting and the remote valve return flow came back to another fitting in the main valves return. This is the best I can do without seeing your valve. Later Bob   [Reply]  [No Email]
