135 Hydraulic setup?

I have a 1969 MF 135 with the 3 cyl Perkins. I have no clue how to set up a rear remote on this thing. I think I have the valve but not sure what I need to add or where to have a controllable remote. The second picture is the fill that someone told me is where the return then goes. Is that correct? I really enjoy using this machine, but need the remote for some of the implements I'm using this year.
 
Hi, I have the same set up. You can obtain a single or double remote valve for the unit. Attached is a photo of where the valve is mounted. I have mine set up to run a loader. I used quick connect connections on all lines. The return line is connected to the top of the lift cover, on the left side under the seat, facing forward. You will see a plug there. Take it out and thread in the return line, or thread in a pipe that will allow you to connect a quick disconnect connection if you want to go that route. Good luck!

Hello Frantz,
There are a number of different options that you can use. Your location may be influential in your choice of what
is available. In the States a valve assembly to replace the small cap on the front of the hydraulic cover is
frequently used. The valve assembly consists of normally two levers with ports to attach hydraulic hoses for
supply and return lines to your quick-release couplings wherever you decide to mount them. The valve will contain
a way of seperating the 'internal' hydraulics (three-point linkage)from the 'external' supply to tip a trailer
for example. The quick-release couplings would normally be attached by a bracket to the mudguard(fender) or to a
point on either side of the top link attachment point.

The second method would be to replace the cap with a more simple isolating valve which is normally of the push-
pull type which may have a rotary selector to give several outlets. If you are operating a single-acting cylinder
the port or one of the ports on this valve will be satisfactory. With 'external' selected you can operate the
cylinder on the quadrant lever at your side.

If you choose the above method and with to operate a double-acting cylinder you will need to install a seperate
valve block. These can be fitted on the footplate (behind your left foot) or on the mudguard....somewhere that is
comfortable to reach but does not impede mounting/dismounting the tractor or affect any other controls. The
supply line from the iso valve would go to the inlet side of the block. If the supply line is 3/8" bore my
preference would be to install a 1/2" bore pipe back to an elbow fitting in the oil filler plug next to the main
gear lever. It is advisable to have a larger bore return than supply. Some use a point on the left hand side of
the hydraulic cover but to do this you would need to introduce a restriction into the return line in the way of
smaller fittings.

Time and money spent on the installation of a remote supply is well worth it.

I used a diverter valve to port oil from 3-point lift pump to a directional valve to operate a top link cylinder. This will work but you will NOT be able to use the 3-point while using the directional valve. If you need to use the lift and attachment cylinders, you'll need another pump. MF did make a auxiliary pump mounted on top of the lift pump.

In the photo of IPTO, the larger auxiliary pump is mounted where the IPTO pump is located.

Thanks for the details and pictures. Mine does have the single valve on it, but it doesn't have the handles. Evidently the picture I posted didn't make it.
