Case 885xl

[Antd]

Just recently bought a case 885xl 4wd which has two spool valves as standard was looking to plumb another two on does anyone know were to take feed and return from also the green lever in cab is not connected to any rods underneath would I be right in saying that wasn’t standard thanks

Should have a black knob single acting spool as standard with the option of 2 double acting spools on a yellow knob and another 2 double acting on a blue knob IIRC. I think it needs another slice on the valve block and all the linkage levers from the block to the cab and the fixed piping from the block to the spools on the back end. I'm interested in doing this as well on a 685 XL. You could run another external electrical valve block off the single acting service.

assuming you have the later bosch valves and not the very early westpulman types then to plug in a seperate spool block (such as a loader) then this is the rigtht way of going about it

Bit of a crib to get at, but with the seat out and maybe eaven working up under the cab behind the right wheel you should find a loop pipe which you remove and put the spool block in series....you will keep your tractor hydraulics live and the other spool block as well

Not to bad to add extra spools, extra slice, longer bolts and some flexi pipes. I found INTA Trac UK really helpful, did it with all second hand bits off them on a 785XL.

If you cut a square out of the mudguard it makes life easier.
