Ford 5000 Loader connections Help Needed

861Pete

Hi,installed a Leon Loader on my 1971 Ford 5000 . Fabricating brackets was fairly easy but now I'm at the stage of hooking up the hydraulics. I have a new Cross SBA22 control valve. I just don't know how to hook up the inlet and outlet hoses from it to the remote hydraulics. The remote valve has one lever with two hoses. After reading on the net I'm lost about return to sump lines, ASC valves, etc.
Option # 2
I have a Front mount pump from a 861. Are there shafts and pulley mounts to be able to use that? I know I would have to have a hydraulic reservoir but that's not a problem.
Sorry for the rambling but would sure appreciate any help, Pete
 
Your remote with the two hoses will work. One will
serve as a feed/pressure, the other will be the
return. Which is the return just depends on which
way you push the lever on the remote valve.
There are shafts to use a front pump on a 5000...
that would give you higher flow and faster cycle
times on your loader, but would be a more expensive
option.
 
Having a loader on my 5000 I can say that a front pump feeding the loader will make it much faster and much more joyful to use. The stock pump is small and makes for very slow operation.

Or you can plumb your cross valve into the remotes and then tie the handle back.

Or you can get a power beyond plate and put it underneath your factory remote valve, then run two hoses from that to the cross loader valve. This way you can still use your rear remote when the loader is on.
