Rudi, if you plumb the relief port similar to my sketch, you can even get by with a couple barb fittings and regular hose for transmissions. It doesn't have to be high pressure, it's just releasing fluid back into the TC reservoir. That might save you some pennys. IH 1000 loaders also just use regular hose to plumb into the reservoir.

There are some places where it just doesn't pay to chintze on the parts. It hasn't cost me a lot yet, and amything I have purchased that becomes surplus to the needs of the current project will be utilized on the next hydraulic project which is simply an extension of this one. I went and got the needed parts today whilst doing my appointments and such. So tomorrow I will probably replumb those aspects of the system, take some more pics and give it a shot. After I get this done I will probably go get some replacement lines to clean it all up so that it is neater than it is at the moment. I wish I could do metal lines.. but that is too far beyond me at this point in time. Hose will have to do :wink:
Hmmm did I just say that :big what: .... :big shy: :lol:
Thanks to you and Rick, I got this and I think I understand it. We shall see.

I can tell you the steel lines look good, but boy are they a pain to make. You talk about time consuming :shock: After I made this setup for Chuck Melburg, I decided I didn't have the room or time to make any more
Chuck's setup has lines either out the front or rear, whichever he chooses. The lines are the heavy duty hydraulic tubing too, so it was a bare to bend without any kinks.

That has to be the most elegant hydraulic setup on a Cub. Absolutely gorgeous. Not many setups like that at all.. maybe one more :?: This is really nice especially for hooking up the blade in the belly position or other rear mounted hydraulic powered implements. The valve that was used in that application looks like an IHCC square bodied Cessna Eaton. Is that right :?: I have two each of both the more smoothly rounded style and the rectangular style :?: Also, is this the setup that you used one of those 1000pse preset pressure relief valves on :?:
These hydraulic projects while very complicated and originally totally beyond my ken, have proven to be some of the most interesting and fulfilling projects I have taken on. The need to learn a whole new discipline from scratch.. and actually be able to work with the systems.. is really a blast. Scary at times, disconcerting when facing concepts totally unfamiliar and wholly disheartening when it blows up in your face. Yet, when it does work. and then that light bulb moment arrives.. it really is quite fulfilling. Could not have done it without you and Rick helping along the way with your wonderful breadth of knowledge between you both. Amazing and highly satisfying. I literally could not have done it without you both :!:

Looks like I am going to get some more seat time tomorrow. Been a sick day today... and I watched the snow fall. I guess we probably got 6 inches total, but it was kinda moist snow not really fluffy so it has compacted to about 3 or 4 inches. I finished replumbing the hydraulics, so tomorrow Ellie will get a bit of a workout :{_}:
More pics tomorrow hopefuly.
