I have a very clean 1995 Cat 130G I need to add some auxiliary hydraulic valves. Anyone know where I should tee into what lines to get pressure and return without messing anything up. Thanks in advance for any info.
Can you start with a Serial Number please. Then a bit of information regarding exactly what auxiliary hydraulic systems you want to add would be a good next step.
74V02630. Would like to add a front lift group and snow plow. Would need at least two new circuits. Probably 3. Thanks
The easiest and most elegant way is to add sections to the existing control valves. Right now you should have this; And you need to make it look like this;
I agree. Far more elegant and better from an ergonomic point of view for the operator than trying to bodge something. From what I can see the arrangement for a snow plough/snow wing attachment with a power tilt on the wing for a 74V-prefix 130G is a 9D-8382. It uses a 5 Bank valve on one side of the machine and a 6 Bank on the other - so 3 extra functions. I attach the BOM. Obviously you would not need to buy two complete control valves, just the three extra sections required to operate the plough & wing. Extra sectons should be easy enough to come by from Machinery Trader or somewhere similar now you know what the Part Numbers are.
Sone guys use a diverter valve off a mid mount scarifier for a front plow. Craig had a nice electric setup for wing function where the 3 switches fastened to the control rack. You can unplug and remove them when the plowing is done.
