Thanks for the follow up. As far as tracing the lines go. The existing control is about three feet from the block coming out of the pump. I could grab both ends of the lines so I'm very sure where they are coming from. From the valve perspective. It's a BLB. They have dual inlet on both power...

Thanks for clearing that up. It appears the PB & tank lines are currently installed backwards. The valve these lines are connected to was fitted way back before I bought it. I should count my lucky stars that my pump still works at all. I've owned the machine for three years and god knows how...

Yikes... If I'm reading your comment correctly the existing control is not connected correctly! Based on what I see installed on the machine and from Mountainman's marking on my picture, the power comes from the bottom of the block. Both in agreement there. Sounds like the other two may be...

You and me both. You don't want to see the external pump Frankensteined to the front of the engine that currently drives the FEL. It'd drive you right over over the edge. The whole reason I'm asking about this stuff is to get it looking/working better. That old loader is coming off, getting...

Thanks. I'll price these lines out but I'm expecting hoses would be cheaper. Reason I was asking about these was there is limited space under the machine and these hard lines look like they get to the front of the machine without getting in the way of anything. Given I've got a control in the...

Great discussion. Thanks so much for the input. While working this through in mind I was actually thinking of running to the FEL first as there is limited space for running lines on the machine. If I go with FEL first in the circuit I can run two lines up the left (drivers) side which is much...

Thank you all for the input. I'm going to go through the "Flow of Power Beyond Hydraulics" thread to ensure I understand this. Will be a few days but will post back a diagram of my plan. Here's a parts question... In the diagram below it looks like there are hard lines that connect up to the...

I have no need now nor expect to have a need in the future for the rear hydraulic control. I think I'm just going to remove it make things simple. As well, I had a wanted to replace the two stick arrangement for the loader so I already have another "joystick" type control. When reading the...

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, the rear block looks like that. Albeit the plumbing on it looks like a MacGyver job as well. Small difference in that my block has two bolts attaching it to the machine. I only see one #160 in the above diagram. The line attachments appear the same. The...

There was an OEM loader on my BX2200 when I bought it (1000 hours) with a separate hydraulic pump "MacGyvered" to the front of the engine crank. I want this gone and to use the hydraulics core to the machine for the loader. In addition, there was a hydraulic control on the rear of the machine...
