JD B Live hydraulics

[Dbltag]

I have seen a number of A & B's that have live hydraulic connections. Most have a spacer behind the powr-trol valve body. Any idea on how these work, where to get one? Specifically I am looking for a 1945 B.

That would be a Baker Valve.

That spacer behind the power lift body would be a Baker valve that gives you the opertunity to use the rockshaft and a remote cylinder at the same time, now if you have power troll then in adition to above instead of rockshaft and cylinder the ability to use two remote cylinders. Neither setup will give live hydrolics. Now for live hydrolics there is a pump kit that was made that was placed in back of the mag where the mag normally bolts to and then the mag bolted to that. Hoses were routed so you used the orignal hydrolic oil resivore and control valve but the PTO hydrolic pump was not used, do not know if it had to be remover or just disabled.

With the live pump setup there is also a spacer that goes behind the powertrol to block the presure passage from the pto pump.
