My new 560 has the two steel hydraulic lines that run to the lift in the back.
Those lines have been cut and capped off near the shifter. Rubber hose has been run from the right side ports from another control to the back to the lift cylinder instead.
That works, but I'd like to get things back closer to original, if I can, and run the lift off the proper lever.
My question: What IS the priority block for (if I'm calling it the right thing - going off of what I've seen online - it's the block at the end of the steel lines that mounts under the seat)? What does it do?
I don't have much experience with hydraulics, so forgive me if it's obvious.
One steel line is broken off right at that block. I'm wondering if I can have a machinist friend kind of bore it out and tap it for a threaded fitting to make this repair. Then I could run some new steel line straight to the existing stubs that are left up front (plenty of of material left to work with on that end).
OR should I just run rubber lines off what's left of the steel lines directly to the cylinder, and not worry about the priority block at all? (since that seems to be how it's running now anyways off the other controller).
I know these lines are famous for rotting out under the seat area, and I'm guessing that's what happened to mine, and that's why the were cut and plugged.
Thanks
