Hopefully this thread adds to the discussion and benefits others in regards to additional hydraulics on the 2520. I want to thank Kennyd for his posts and help on this project as well as jimgerken and his excellent post on adding rear remotes. I utilized the JD Power Beyond kit which has been detailed before - the only thing I want to add/clarify is that from the back of the tractor the rear most port is pressurerized flow from the pump and needs to go into the valve at IN and the port toward the front is the return to tank which is coming from OUT on the valve (see pic rear hydraulic hoses below). I used this valve from Surplus Supply - http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...name=hydraulic
and designed a mount with my neighbor - bolting it on using two of the ROPS bolts (make sure they thread all the way through the fixed nuts on the underside of the fender!) I mounted the valve and then the fun began - trying to get the right fittings to connect the hoses from power beyond and the quick connects for the work ports on the valve. I found the document below discussing thread sizing helpful (see threadprofiles.pdf below). I utilized pioneer 1/4in quick connects (female) on the valve x4 with dust covers. Primed and painted after testing for leaks and there you have it. Just waiting for cylinders for TnT and should be good to go. Also considering running lines up to a grapple. Feel free to ask questions and if I can't help then I am sure Kenny or Jim will jump right in.
Brad you really did an awsome job.
i am sure kenny will enjoy this thread.

I love it - this forum rocks! Kenny is exactly right - he is my go to man when it comes to hydraulics. Will post my diverter project soon - Kenny, you should put up yours as well if you want to for reference.
