Hello all.
Well, the next couple days I am going to work on transferring the loader and a few other items from my M to my Super M. I was curious how the plumbing coming from the reservoir should be done. There are two fittings on the left (clutch) side of the valve body/reservoir. The lower one is currently plumbed with a line to the rear, and the upper one has a T that is capped on both ends. Is this reservoir/valve body similar to the belly pump on my M, in that one output is a delayed-action for rear cultivator lift? Would I simply install both lines for the left and right cylinders to each side of the "T" of the upper port? OR, can I use the lower port for one side, and the upper port for another? I am currently at work so cannot take photos of the Super M but can add them later. The loader I am installing is a Farmhand Standard loader (Picture of the current setup on my M). One-way cylinders, gravity down, trip bucket.
I also have the large capacity hyd. fluid tank that goes with the loader. On my M I have that plumbed directly to the oil fill on the belly pump. I assume I can plumb it the same into the oil fill on the Super M? the cylinders need the extra fluid tank to utilize full lifting height.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I plan to tackle this project on Thursday/Friday. I have a few other things to transfer over but they are not nearly as involved (wheel weights, etc.).
