Hello all, 4th post been lurking for sometime now.
I have a 2012 L45 with BT1000 backhoe. Got it used a couple years ago, just 2400 hrs. Have it on land in NV foothills above Sparks. Been solid but I want to add hydro to the loader, mostly for a grapple. The BH has the 3rd for a thumb, need to plumb that still. Just for fun here is the "pad'' I have cleared with this so far. I did hire a guy to help with the BIG cutout as all is granite up there.
Understanding the L45 is basically the same as the L39 and L47 if that helps. Here is a pic of the hydraulic center if that helps at all.
I have found kits for adding the 3rd function, but they can't seem to tell me where to tap for the lines.
If anyone can point out a thread or link or have the info it would be great.
Thx in advance!!
