Hek00405 SN I am trying to figure out how to put a mulching head on my machine. It has a two-way thumb now. Can I put a tee into the return line on the aux/thumb circuit and hook a ball valve to that tee. Then drill a hole in the top of the hydraulic tank and put a bulkhead fitting in there. Connect the ball valve to the tank. When the ball valve is open, it is providing one-way flow dumping the return fluid into the tee and then into the tank. When the ball valve is closed, it is providing two-way flow into the valve, just like it is currently doing. Is this wrong or right???
