I am glad ya'll stopped by to read this. I worked my A** of on this project. Allan, I agree the PTO pump would have been easy. But what fun is easy :D
Someone mentioned the removal of the loader. If you look closely I used Pioneer QD couplers on the 3 spool valve. All I have to do is cut the ty-wrap holding the 4 lines in place and unhook. That is why I have the slack looped. I cut the lines about 65" long. Also (look close) I used 3/4" quik couplers on the supply and return lines. I can remove the ENTIRE pedastal and valve bank, hook the two lines into themselves (one male one female) and remove the return to the IPTO. I have the matching pairs with plugs installed to keep out debris and such 8)
I agree with Armand, you can never have too many remotes. That is why I have the 3rd spool. My father has 5 on a Ford 6600. Two for the loader and 3 for the 15' bat-wing mower. He is planning to expand it to 6.
As for performance, It is fast at idle, it is fast at WOT. Dad could not believe how quickly it would open the bale chamber door on his 504C Vermeer. 17 GPM is a lot of oil, most new tractors in this HP class only have 10-12 max. The old girl is running and operating better than it was 30 years ago. His 6600 has 1/2" supply and return lines, 3/8" work lines. I am using 3/4" and 1/2" respectivley. That makes a difference.
Thanks again and enjoy,
Charles
PS: My wife has informed me recently this is an expensive HOBBY! I know, and my next one is going to be an 06 or 86 series 90-120 HP!!!

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
