Just an update on what's been going on.
I got a wrench for the return pipe from the splitter to the 3pt at the bottom of the seat. To set the nuts are seized may be an understatement. It's tight at both areas and I don't want anything to snap.
I picked up a hyd block off plug today for the local store, and I shared what I was trying to do with them. Based on their suggestion, I'm going to cut the metal return pipe rather than remove it. I'll need to measure the OD of the pipe to be certain, but then I will go back and buy a couple of hyd compression fittings from them to connect the in/out flex lines from the loader valve.
This will be the cleanest way to get it working for now. Then once I upgrade the frame cylinders and get a new loader valve, I'll then add in the original return line back to the hyd tank.
