WD-45 Loader Operation

I have recently purchased a used Paulson trip loader to put on my AC WD-45. I was told that teh hydraulics would attach to it via a hose run from the remote at the rear of the tractor seat and teed off to attach to each cylinder. No problem there, but I do have what is probably a stupid question. Do you then use the lift controls to move the loader frame up and down, or is there something I am missing from the setup? If you use the lift controls will the lift go up and down with the loader? Is there something on the pump that can set it to remote only? The WD45 manuals have not been much help on this.

Thanks,

Rick

If you don't want to take off the loader, or install valves in the system, you can do what we did. I found out what height I wanted to drive with the loader up (about even with the hood) and then measured the amount of cylinder exposed. Went to a metal fabricator, and found some 'u' channel large enough to go over the cylinders. You can see one in the picture. You raise the bucket, install the u channels (use a hose clamp to secure), lower until it stops. Then you can unhook the hose, and you have complete, independant control of what you have in back.

So I would have to disconnect the loader hydraulics to make the lift functional again, correct?

Thanks,
