961 hydraulics

-Reason you may not already have a remote valve: The guy that bought the tractor new may not have wanted that option, the valves were options, not factory-equipped defaults.
-Reason you may not want to get a "ford-original" valve: It may cost you $200-400, you can get an after-market valve for around $100.
-How to tell if you have a aux. valve at all: Look under the seat, just inside the 3-point touch-control quadrant. If you find a flat, approx 4 x 6-inch flat plate, you have no remote valve at all. If you find another handle, you have a valve, and just have to figure out if it is single or double-spool and how to use it.

Have a good-un.

For other stuff, first you need to tell us what you do have. Up above is a good thread with pictures does yours look anything like those? Some only need an adaptor plate stuck in - some only need the other hose connected & the thumbscrew turned in... Some need a lot.

What do you have exactly to start with? Probably need a picture for others to identify??? Which pump do you have, vane or piston?

(By the way, I don't know much about it, I have a 960 with double-acting, vane pump. Just hoping my comments will draw more discussion to help you. :)
