560 Hydraulic valves

I took all three spool valves off my 560 to rebuild them - one teledepth, and the other two normal ones.

Of the two "normal" valves, one of has ports on the bottom that are closed with threaded plugs. The other has no ports on the bottom.

Now I can't remember which one goes where. Obviousy the teledepth on goes on the let hand side but not sure about the other two.

I'm assuming it doesn't really matter...

But - that's my question - does it? Is the one with the plugged ports supposed to go in the middle or the outside?

Thanks
 
I don't think it matters which valve is in the middle and which is on the outside other than the teledepth one. My 560 has hydraulic lines running from the bottom on one valve, installed where your plugs are. It is my outside valve as that is the easiest place to run the hydraulic lines
 
thank you.

I didn't think it'd matter, especially since I don't plan on re-plumbing anything.

But still, I'd hate to get it all back together and find I did something stupid.
 
Pay attention to where the levers are on the valve body. Sometimes there's one on the left and one on the right. That's the way it was on my 240.

Line up the linkages and that will tell you which valve goes where if that is the case. Otherwise, I can't see why it would matter if you're not using the plugged-off ports.
 
Funny you should mention that -

I REALLY should have taken a picture of things before I removed everything, but at the time it really seemed
so straight forward that I couldn't go wrong.

I kept all parts together for each valve, but when I went to put them back together, it was far from obvious
which way that lever went. The manuals all show the valve bodies upside down from how they were on my
tractor - and that alone caused me a lot of confusion, and I had to re-do them

Hard to find a clear picture anywhere of how they're supposed to go.

But - I think I've got it back in proper order now.

Learned my lesson on that one - not to rely on my memory even for the simple stuff!

Thanks.
