I added a 3 point hitch to my lo boy 154 but I don't have the diverter / selector valve that lets you switch between the 3 pt hitch and the front blade hydraulic cylinder. I can't find the original diverter valve and was wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket replacement. There is nothing on ebay or at HamiltonBobs. I did find a selector valve from the surplus center but I don't know the proper size of the inlet / outlet holes. Does anyone know anything about the size that I would need? The one I found is: 1/2 NPT 20 GPM PRINCE SELECTOR VALVE. Does anyone know if this will fit or can provide me with the NPT size?
Thanks for the help.

I would like to know this too since this is the only thing stopping me from installing my 3 point as well

Re: lo boy 3 point diverter / selector valve
Others have reported that the 3/8" size was correct, but I haven't seen one installed. Seems like some bracketry would be required for mounting.

I would like to add this to my 184 as well, but am waiting until a braver soul tries and documents it first! I currently have the 3-point and mid lift installed with a Y pipe. Heaviest implement lifts last.

On eBay used. There are the square o rings available to rebuild it. On eBay you get the original fittings on it.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Thanks for the replies.
I guess if I could find the pipe size that fits into the Y that should give me some sort of idea. Unfortunately, I don't know how to measure outlet pipe. Hopefully, some one with an original dirverter they may be able to help.

Re: lo boy 3 point diverter / selector valve
Threaded pipe is usually the inside diameter, for example a 3/8 inch fitting like ell, tee, coupling etc. would mean the pipe size it fits will by 3/8 inch ID. The actual pipe size measurement will vary slightly with the thickness of the wall (referred to as the "schedule"). So a 3/8 inch schedule 40, which is standard for threaded pipe, wall thickness would not be as thick as a 3/8 inch schedule 80 (heavy duty) but the same fittings will screw on it because the OD of the pipe is the same.

It's tubing with Parker fittings.
Make sure it's either NPT Threads or o ring threads.
