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 - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
