I have a L1501DT. I want to know what is the best way to tap the hydraulics to add a loader or blade. Thanks for the help. You guys are awesome.

The L1501DT that I have has the high pressure coming in to the front just under the seat

By far the easiest way to tap into the hydraulics on these models is to cut the feed line from the pump, putting a fitting on each end of the line.
Then using those two ends to loop to an open center valve with a third line for a return that you will have to pipe into the sump, most use a fill port with an adapter for the return.
You will need to make sure you use a valve with a pressure relief valve in it, or you can deadhead the pump.

North Idaho Wolfman could you elaborate more? What type of fittings (compression or welded on) I understand that you interrupt the high pressure line (put the valve in the loop) but where does the return line come from? what type of pressure and gpm are these pumps capable of? Thanks

Darren Todd used to have one. He did a thread where he made the sub frame and tapped into the hydraulic system to put a Massey Ferguson loader on it. I think that it's in the fabrication section.

The system is a 2500 PSI give or take setup, so high pressure fittings are required, preferably welded on fittings are the best.

The return line comes from the valve and will be taped into the sump of the tractor.

What gpm does this system work with?

Thanks for the link. What is your opinion about the compression fittings?

Like NIW stated "2500 PSI" possibly a bit much for compression fittings
unless you go with stainless steel.......

Welded would be ideal, but I would trust a fitting over my welds :eek:

GPM is in the 3 to 4 range.

The compression fittings of the right type for the PSI would be ok if you can find them to fit the size of pipe, it's normally an odd size and you have more tolerance with welded on fittings. ;)
