Hello, I need some advise . I have a ford 770 bucket that came off a ford 1700 tractor (no power steering)and I am putting it on a ford 1700 (with power steering). The 770 bucket has a adapter block for hydraulic return and supply lines that was needed on the original tractor with no power steering. The 1700 with power steering already has a block for the power steering lines to go to and there are two plugged ports on the same block. So my question is, are those two ports for implements like the loader?
I have shop manuals, and owner manuals but no mention of this anywhere. thanks Steve

It's been a long time since I worked on one of those but I'm quite sure you still need the adapter block for the loader.

Thanks Mark, it just seems wrong to add another block. I have a New Holland/Ford Dealer in my town but it just depends on what mood they are in as to whether I can get advise. Thanks again for your thoughts.
 
Thanks Mark, I have been researching most of the day and i found a post from Jan. 2014 from you about almost the same problem, and you added a schematic of the hydraulic block assembly. I looked at that and it looks like you are correct. I still need the adapter block to make my loader work. Thanks again for you help.
