Eldoradojim · May 9, 2015

Hi everybody, brand new to this site, I have found a 4 in 1 bucket I am going to buy for my Ford 545A tractor, need help plumbing the hydraulics? is there any diagrams or instructions on how to do this? it is supposed to come with a control valve and some hard piping , not sure yet, I can't pick it up til the first of June, just wanted to kind of be getting an idea of how to do it...any help would be appreciated,Thanks, Jim

What pluming part are you curious about, just the hydraulics for the 4-1 bucket? I'm in a similar scenario myself for my 545 except I'm just adding a third function for a grapple. I ordered a new valve to replace the OEM valve. But I too am contemplating the routing of the lines to the front for the third function. I'd like to run steel down the boom for a clean factory look. But I might have to go down the opposite side boom as the bucket curl line due to space available on the boom.

Do you know if the bucket you're getting was a kit or something the previous owner assembled?
