530 hyd question

[cobblestick]

Question has anyone added a third hyd valve to the existing two valves
on a 530 case tractor?

Never have, but the easiest way to do it would be to buy one of those electric splitter valves that turns a single hydraulic circuit into 2. You could also plumb one of the existing circuits through 2 spool, open center valve.

Thanks that is a good idea.

I wonder this myself. I have a later 530 that had a 305? Loader. It used both remote levers as it had two way cylinders on both the tilt and arms. I blocked off one of the valves with plugs, but don't see any reason why it couldn't be done. Biggest issue would be where to mount the hoses on the rear of the tractor.

The last time the J.I.Case Heritage Foundation meet at Madison SD I saw a 630 Case that 4 valves on it. They were stacked on top of each other to the bottom of the fuel tank, the top two had levers sticking out and up towards the operator.Apparently it had been a loader tractor because the wide front had been welded a few times.
