Fitting a loader and trailer tipping pipe

Post by Ben 26 »

I am just restoring a Major and need to fit a loader and trailer tipping pipe, reading some of the comments I presume I can take a feed off under the seat on right side as sat on seat? And also including a shut off so the hydraulic arms will work separately, where can I take a trailer tipping pipe off and make that work with the loader and lift arms?

Same place with a "T", one pipe forward with a shut off tap for the loader another rearward for the trailer pipe. You may find it useful to chain your lift arms in the raise position as there is no way of isolating them and they will go up and down with your loader as you use it. To isolate the lift arms you need a second spool valve and these are like Rocking Horse Pooh and normally very expensive when they come up.
