Baker Valve

[Dbltag]

Would like to install a Baker Valve on '45 JD B... are these still being produced or do I need to find someone getting rid of one off of a tractor?

Find one off a tractor--don't think they have been made in years.

I have heard of this valve but, was wondering what it did and was used for. Thanks

Lets you have duel hyd. on an A,B or G to use two cylinders at the same time.

What it does is allow valve actuated hydraulics using the powerlift system. The Baker valve is 1.5 inch thick aluminum and goes between the powerlift valve case and the back casting of the tractor. It sports a handle that comes up on the left side of the seat, push it forward with the PTO turning and your cylinder moves in one direction, push the handle back and the cylinder moves in the other direction. It can be set up to work in only one direction if so desired by moving some internal plugs but I could not make sense of the instruction sheet nor did I want a pressure in only one direction system to begin with. They don't make them anymore so you'll just about have to take one off of a tractor or buy one outright on ebay or at an auction.

It's the ONLY hydraulics I have on my 44 A. Dual?
