Changing to double acting remotes.

Post by Pepper Farms »

I have a 1964 Super Major and am looking at changing the single remote hydraulics to a double acting one. Just wondering if any one else has done this and if it is as straight forward as it looks (4 bolts or so and a simple switch over). Also I was wondering if any one can tell me what the levers and knobs do on the control thats under the seat. Thanks.

If you search the New Major forum for "Super Major - DAR fitment" there was a long post on this subject.

Hope this helps.

You cannot fit just any DAR Valve, it has to be one for a Super Major/Dexta. The later '000nd Series look similar but the porting is wrong.

You can use a separate unit and take the supply from the Aux.Port then drill and tap the filler plug for the return.
