Ford 800-Removing Hydraulic Forklift-Need help

I just bought an 800 Ford with an Edwards 3pt Forklift on it. I want to remove the lift so I can use 3 pt. After I remove the hydraulic hoses, can I just put plugs in the holes or do I have to change the hydraulic cover. There is no selector valve for the hydraulics. I am a rookie with hydraulics so I appreciate the advice.
 
Post a pic of what you have, there coil be a dozen different ways it is plumbed.. We need to see how/ where your fluid pressure is plumbed
 
You should loop the two hoses together so that the fluid can flow, or else replace whatever adapter plate is on there now with an original blocking plate.

I am attaching a photo, I hope. If I were to connect a hose between the 2 ports would that allow the 3 pt to work? [imghttp://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/photos/35490.jpg[/img][/img]
 
I hope the photo works this time.

Just loop those hoses together and back to normal. Or change that plate back to the normal cover plate. Are you planning to sell the forklift setup I may be interested if your not too far from Connecticut

I would love to sell it to you but I live in western Oregon. Thanks for the info.
 

So it sounds like I should go back to the stock hydraulic cover which should allow hydraulic fluid to the 3pt. Thanks to all of you for your advice.
 
I don't think my 30 year old Dodge truck
would be up to that road trip lol! eBay
should be able to find you an original
top cover.
 
If you want to sell it, we are from North Idaho & are heading to the coast & southern Oregon in a couple weeks. Give me a holler with a picture.

I have it listed on the Portland Craigslist under Edwards Forklift with pictures. If you have trouble finding it, contact me again and I will send to you. I am flexible on price.
