wd45 loader

[randy47]

I have a freeman loader on my wd45 with a trip bucket . I want to install a 6 foot bucket with hydraulic controls-- the loader now is hooked in the rear remote-- is there any way to plumb this using the tractor hydraulic pump and still have the remote avaliable to use or will I need to hook up a front mounted pump????

You can disconnect the supply line to one of your two-point arm cylinders and run a line from that port to your loader valve. You can then run both two-point cylinders off of the one line if you put a T fitting under the tractor.

Your remote is fed from a third port on top of the hydraulic valve. Coming off that port, install a selector valve. From that, run one line to your remote location under the seat, the other line to a two-lever valve to run your loader lift and bucket. One of those levers needs to be a two-way to run the bucket. Your lift cylinder needs only a one-way valve. Run the return line back to your system via the drain plug under the tractor. Limitation? Sump volume. The selector valve lets you lock up the loader at a sufficient height and use the remote.
