We bought the machine as a none running fixer upper and have never acutually used the the machine. I have posted ?'s before but most of the time just do a search for what I need so thank you guys for all the help in the past. We got it running so good I think new rollers and rails next summer
. I have put many hours on it just driving it around the farm. Okay my ?.... I am getting ready to put the loader on. The people who had it before us must have had something on the back. Probably a roto-boom but maybe a backhoe. The return line is already capped but the feed line from the auxiliary side of the valve has the power-beyond port installed and a line hooked to it. The line is not capped. I installed my pump and started the engine and let me tell you I ended up with a mess pretty quick. Not having an impliment for the back am I right to assume the feed and return just need to hooked together. Looking at the manual if understand it correctly, I can also eliminate the line altogether by removing the power-beyond port and Installing a drain plug which jd has as part# U17384. This part is not available according to two differnt dealers and Jd direct. Jd actually told me to join a collector's club and post my question about the plug. Okay here it is.( I know enough rambling). Is there anything special about the plug or is it just a standard fitting plug???? One dealer and JD didn't know. One other dealer thought it to be a regular plug possibly 1 inch JIC #16.
I just want to be sure of what I'm doing and not guess when dealing with Hydraulic pressure.
Thanks
