I think I'm narrowing this down, but I'm still not in operation. Just don't know my hydraulics. The Deere dealership says I definitely need a closed center valve for my 2630 - and is quite willing to sell me a Cross SBA2-CC. The Northern Hydraulics help line guy said the splitter should work with the open center valve I already have - and he COULD have sold me a SBA2-CC. Then I talked to someone else that said I just might have a semi-clogged filter - letting enough fluid to raise the lift arms but not allowing sufficient volume of fluid to keep circulating through the open center valve circuit on the splitter. Meanwhile, I go to remove the filter (a place I've never been before) and I find two valve heads, one coming out of the filter cover and the other coming out of ? One looks like a conventional male hose end and the other maybe a JD female end. See picture. What are these and do they have anything to do with the work around some people are suggesting? I bought this tractor about a year ago. Fluid's topped up and clean and nothing makes any weird noises under load.
I will get this - just need some wisdom I don't have yet. Thanks.
Please bear with me about picture - will post it later this evening when my IT expert (wife) helps me.
