Help needed on loader valve hookups on 870

Deere Mike · Aug 30, 2018

Hello Gentleman, I need help identifying which hose goes where.

I have 1- boom lift, the book uses the work "end cylinder" and "return".

Then bucket lift and return. The book only shows color coded. I bought this loader used with no colors on the valves.

Thank you for your help,
Mike

Looks like that label is colored.
Do your hoses correspond?

Thanks for your question.... No the hoses from the loader have no color caps or rings on them.

Well if I had to guess ( and I am ) 1 & 2 will be used together for 1 function and 3 & 4 for the other set of cylinders. Have the engine off and move the valve lever to remove pressure and then plug some hoses in. start it up and SLOWLY move the lever and see what happens. Seating in seat pulling lever back should raise the loader. Forward lowers. Moveing in to the left should curl the bucket back and to the right is dump the bucket. If something works backwards switch hoses and repeat test.
Maybe soon someone who knows for sure will come along.
