See the other comments posted. I was under the impression you had the Stage II Super M with the reservoir under the fuel tank...If you are going to be using the loader and a spool valve, a better reservoir would help keep the oil at a cooler operating temp - and would extend the life of the system. The best idea I can come up with for you would be to purchase a 2 or 3 spool valve and a 5 gallon reservoir. Suction from pump to bottom of reservoir. Pressure from pump to the spool valve, and return to the reservoir. It would make for a cleaner installation without so many (leaky) connections. And a modern spool valve should have a relief valve built into it. I hope this helps you out! I have a live hydraulic pump that pushes 15 gpm at full throttle using my H belly pump as a reservoir (holds about 2 gallons with the pump removed and a plate bolted in its place). It works, but it got too hot. I have since added an oil cooler in front of the radiator to keep temps down, and that works fine.
