You could say that. Corning paid ~$80K for it new in 1995 and sold it at auction 10 yeats later when the plant closed. If you can accomodate them big used machines are way better bargins than smaller hobbyist size stuff. And sometimes you get lucky... Dan

Dont be hasty. I had the ubiquitous Taiwanese mill drill for years but they are very limited. Tool changes and repositioning will work you to death. In 2007-2008 and after extended searching I was about to pull the trigger on an old Van Norman when this unexpectedly turned up 10 minutes from...

Crankshaft Position Sensor wire? Dan

This is about as good as you can do for a packaged kit. https://summit-hydraulics.com/product/third-function-valve-kit-for-kubota-bx23s-tractors/ If the budget is really tight this would get you the valve, joystick handle, and couplers which are the big tIcket items but you would have to do...

I can't think of anything that would be different. If there is it should be very minor. EDIT: i am assuming you don't have a backhoe on the tractor. Of you do it would still work but you would need one replacement hose. Dan

I like the way you attached the nozzle brackets to the boom. I broke the boom on my bigger sprayer and need to repair/make a new one. I think I will steal borrow that idea. I have a very similar sprayer I use for spot spraying. It rides in the loader bucket :) Dan

Well first and foremost we would need to know which cylinder :unsure: Dan

I will make it real simple. If it's right with the BH on its still OK when its off. Same for the loader. Dan

It appears to be a 3 spool (1 unused) hydraulic valve used for top and tilt. Longer distance pictures of the cylinders would be helpful. Gannon suggests it was used with a Gannon box blade/scraper Dan

I dont know for a fact but my guess would be 3/8 BSPP. Measure the OD of the thread on the plug. Dan

I see no indication of reliefs in those valves and they should be receiving the same pressure as the 3pt. How about getting some hard numbers? Takes about 10 minutes to: Measure pressure at the outlets. Measure flow rate at the outlets. Dan

Your pronlem is not with the loader. The problem is the down stream circuit is blocking the loader. Sounds like the 3pt control valve is not in neutral. Dan

The lift must leak down pretty quickly then. Dan

Thay is not what I am saying. Your valve is currently connected to the tractor hydraulics with 2 hoses and it should be 3. The top hose should be disconnected from the outlet block and reconnected to the return @Russell King highlighted. The plug in the side should be removed and rrplaced with...

Looking at the BH70 parts the only issue with the third function installation is the loader power beyond pipe.(#10). Follow the 3rd function instructions except as noted below. Before starting the 3rd function install remove pipe #10 from the loader valve and fabricate a bracket to remount...
