Manually-Controlled Selector Valve Allows Using One Remote Outlet To Operate Two Hydraulic Cylinders
Neal McCleary, 325 McCleary Rd., Elkton, Md. 21921 (ph 410 398-3556:) "A manually-controlled selector valve purchased from Northern Tool Equipment (ph 800 556-7885) allows us to use one remote outlet on our tractors to operate two hydraulic cylinders. The valve costs less than $100, compared to electric/hydraulic converters that that can cost up to $500.
  "The photos show the selector valve mounts on a steel plate that bolts to the tractor. A pair of hydraulic hoses run from the valve's two center-mounted plug-ins to a single remote outlet on the tractor. Hydraulic hoses run from the cylinders to a pair of plug-ins on each side of the valve. The photos show the valve with the knob on top of it in the æup' position. I can control either cylinder by pulling up or pushing down on the knob."
