| I decided to give the ol' girl a bath before putting her up for the day. This is as clean as she gets. Stays in her working clothes 24/7! |

Do you have a diverter valve so you can run the loader up then switch to use the lift arms? Looks good for a 50 year old work horse.

| I have a manual on/ off valve behind seat that allows the loader to stay up while using the lift arms. It's a 1955 WD 45 that has been in the family since my grandfather bought it used in 1958. Still used almost daily around the farm. She is a work horse!!! |

Best thing I ever did with my 45 was add a diverter valve in the hydraulics. I can have the loader and the back blade on at the same time for pushing snow. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| What type of diverter vale did you use, and where did you purchase it. I am sure it would work better than the manual valve I have, which basically needs to be open to raise and lower the loader and closed to hold in place. Thanks in advance. |

My valve is a 3 way from a hydraulic feed bandsaw. Don't know where you could find a valve like it. I plumbed the outlet of the hydraulics to it and feed the loader lift arms and remote off the 3 positions.
