there are 2 taps for test gauges on the loader spool.....could i use those for a hook up for a grapple on my 580c? thanks :usa
ok i took a pic.....it's the 2 lines with caps.....i think 1 is supply and the other is return....need someone to tell me if i'm right or not.... thanks:usa
Those are the taps to check pressures and hook a flowmeter to the machine. They would not be a good place to run a graple from as you said one is the main pressure line and the other is return. If you want to add another circuit the easiest way woul be to just put a diverter valve in the bucket circuit to run the grapple. The only drawback would be you could'nt run the bucket and grapple at the same time.
thanks for replyin'.....ok next where would i put the diverter valve?.....would the grapple be able to hold the load after i clamp it then would i be able to roll and lift the loader?...how do they plumb them up with a 4 in 1 bucket?....i would think it would be the same as a grapple.....
Maybe easiest way would be to get the 3 spool loader valve and the associated parts from a salvage yard. The Case Parts website shows the complete setup. It might not be the cheapest way to do it but it looks like it may be fairly simple with the correct Case parts.
thanks Tinkerer....didn't think to look there:Banghead...lol.....i have seen on mine and the 3 spool valve on case site has a 2 wire block on them....what does it do?.....mine is not hooked to anything....
The wires are for the return to dig circuitry for the bucket if it is like my 680C. It is very handy for high loader production. It makes the bucket self-leveling (parallel) to the ground)so you don't have to manually level the bucket when lowering the boom. Mine quit working and I never fixed it. I just don't need it.
