JD 40U hydraulic outlets?

I have a 1955 40 utility that came with rockshaft/3 point hitch only - no remote outlets.
Someone in the past has attempted to add outlets by cutting into the lines and brazing in tees and other fittings. It absolutly won't run a cylinder. My question - is it even possible to add outlets or is this just someones failed attempt?

This tractor is going to have to fill in for a while for my 50 while I rebuild it's engine. I can probably get by without hydraulics by using one of those ratchet lift things, but a cylinder sure is nicer.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
DaveH

I think Dan is right on. I have a 420 with #35 loader that I had to plumb up myself. Check where the hyd pressure line comes out from the bottom of the dash. It may have a double female couple there. If so, this is where the line and fluid has to be diverted. Take the coupling out and plumb into the pressure line at this point with the line you want to run to your remote valve (make sure it is an open center valve). If the original pressure line went into the left side of the touch o matic, check at the same place on the right side for a plug. Remove the line that went from the double female to the left side of the touch o matic. Take the plug out of the right side and put it in the left side. Run the pressure line that you plummed in earlier to the inlet of the open center valve. Run a line from the return on the valve to where you took out the plug on the right side. Hook up the two working ports from the open center valve to whatever and you are ready to go. Both systems will work independently or at the same time, but trying to operate everything at once will cause it all to go in slow motion because of the low volume pump. Good Luck.

I have a JD 430 with a number 35 loader mounted on it. Can't imagine that the hydraulics would be that different on it vs the 40. On it the pressure line from the front was interrupted just behind the dash, it runs to the loader valve and the return from the loader goes back to the rockshaft housing where the pressure line would normally be. ON this particular valve there is a "power beyond" outlet so one has power to the 3 point even with loader in use. Would think you could do the same plumbing with a 40 and open center valve running remotes off of it.

The was an optional remote cylinder available for the Dubuque tractors. They are almost rare and quite expensive if you can find one. A valve can be put on them but you need to some plumbing to get it to work. It cannot be a Tee in the hydraulic line. I have 2 Dubuque tractors with the adapters.

Sorry Dave, I don't know the answer to your question but you might find something on this website. www.jd40.com Even if you don't find anything on the site itself, try dropping an email to the guy who founded the web site. I think his name is Todd. Tye from VA
