front end loader

Henry Retter · Nov 8, 2020

I picked up a front end loader at an auction and I'm mounting to a 1951 Farmall M with the cam driven pump. I hooked up the bucket cylinders through the existing plumbing to test them and one arm would not extend until the other arm extended. From looking at how it was plumbed previously, there are no flow dividers to synchronize the arm or the bucket cylinders. Do I need to hook up flow divider/combiners into the circuit? I think not, but I'm just being cautious as it's easier to plumb them sooner than later. Thanks in advance.

No bucket hooked up?

Correct - no bucket hooked up. I just wanted to see if the cylinders worked or leaked.

When you put the bucket on the rams will work in unison

Thank you. So, no flow divider/combiners needed for the bucket cylinders nor the arm cylinders. Saves time and money.
