Hello Jason - I haven't seen complete kits for this setup. You - or the dealer (read - $$$$) - have to assemble it. There are three options - a switch valve replacing the small cover under the seat (easiest to fit up for a 2-hose setup), a complete valve bank that fits on the same location, or for a one-hose setup, installing a hose on the pressure port on the left of the trans cover, locking the lift arms in the down position, and using the quadrant control to raise and lower the implement. The switch valves (under $150) may or may not have a return port. That's not needed for a one-hose setup. This valve switches between internal (3-point lift arm operation) and remote - fluid goes to a remote control valve. A weakness of the MF 35 system - you cannot have both 3-point system and remote operation - it's one or the other. You need an additional control valve for this setup, and for the 2-hose cylinder a return line either into the switch valve, or plumbed directly into the transmission case. Some folks tap directly into the case (or the PTO lever cover, or the top of the trans filler plug) with a 3/8" or 1/2" pipe tap. The valve bank that fits onto the cover is expensive, used ones may be 1 hose or two hose - or both - and I've found most of the used ones need service - because they leak, because detent springs are worn out, or the retainer clip is missing from the left control lever. This lever is the switch between internal operation and the remotes that are operated by the second and possibly third lever on the valve bank. It has to be locked back for remote operation. Confused yet? Add a note as to the type of system you prefer, and we can give you more specific information on the setup and what you need to get operational. Jack Wetmore in NB Can.
