Hey guys,
I was wondering if it would be possible to convert my d14 hydraulics so that I have separate front and rear hydraulics? It is really a pain when I have the front end loader and the brush hog on trying to use one or the other. What is the cheapest/easiest method to convert it? Also, is it possible to run a front end loader setup with dual hydraulics so that I could have an adjustable bucket??? |

| The cheapest method would be to put a hand shut-off valve on your loader and your bush hog and only open the one you want to use and close the other to hold the implement at a height that doesn't bother you. |

Actually Doc, the cheapest method is to plug the loader into the rear outlet, when not in use, unplug, after inserting a couple pieces of angle iron on the cylinders in the up position! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

I've got both methods ! One D-14 has the control valve setup, the other D-14 has the 'quick coupler' method.
Which is better? Depends on how often you need to change the setup. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| If you are wanting both at same time use Dr. Allis set up. That way you can use one at a time by changing the lever. MACK |

There is another option - not too quick or cheap, but it works nicely. My D14 has a front-mounted hydraulic pump that drives the FEL, leaving the tractor's internal pump available for other work. Not sure I am clear on what you mean by "dual hydraulics...so I can adjust the bucket" but I'm guessing that you are talking about two-way hydraulic cylinders. Yes, you can - you just need the cylinders and the control....and to be careful about matching the cylinder pressure/flow rate to that of the hydraulic pump. One advantage of the front-mounted pump is that you can get away from the AC hydraulic pump pressure/flow rate configuration which may be hard to match in two-way cylinders. ------------- WC, CA, D14, WD45 |

| Does anyone have any pics of their setup and/or part numbers. I do motorcycle/auto mechanics... but I am not well versed in farm machinery/implements. I have no understanding of hydraulics/and valves so any diagrams, pics, and part numbers would be great. |

FEL = Front end loader... DUH! So would the front mounted pump be belt driven off the front of the engine? If so, then do you just fabricate the mounts for it? |
