Anybody own a G5200 with aux hydraulics?

[rlueders]

I just bought a G5200 and would like to add aux hydraulics. I know you can tap into some of the pumps and was hoping someone could take a picture where the outlets are. There are 2 hex heads on the top of my pump so I'm thinking that's where you tap in but want to be sure.

Thanks

There has to be someone that has a G5200 that can take a picture for me.

Here is a link to a G5200 with the hydraulic lift and 3 point hitch. I got it for my gandson who lives in Baltimore, so it its not local to me in VA. If you need more pictures, I can have my son take some. Here is a link to the ones we took when we cleaned it up. The last 3 show the hoses disconnected from the control valve which was connected to the right fender. The back two hoses go to the two way cylinder on the 3 pt hitch, the high pressure hose goes to the top of the hydro pump and the return hose returns down near the hydro filter. The last picture shows the opposite side of the hydro pump (after being cleanedup) with the high pressure line coming out of the top.

Good luck,

Thanks very much. That's just what I was looking for.

When you are finished with the 3-point hitch I'll take it off your hands.
I have discovered they are impossible to find

I have one. Actually, I put 2 together, a toasted 4200 that had full hydraulics and 3pt and pto but bad engine, and a 5200 that was a plain jane 5200. I swap the whole rear axle/hydro assembly to the 5200. Works awesome.
There are a couple different aux hydraulic kits for this. There was a front hydraulics kit as well as rear (for 3pt) and mid (for deck or quick hitch front lift). If you look on the parts diagrams on kubota's website, it'll show you exactly where all those kits hook up, albeit some of them are buried in weird sections of the illustrations.
Mine has the mid and rear, i don't mow with mine since I use it for retrieve stuff from the woods and blowing the drive. I have the front G2648 blower pto blower for it, that was a bitch to find, actually the quick hitch that fit these was harder to find, but some guy had both the blower with the hitch that fit these 80's g-series..just had to drive a couple states away to get it.
I also have the G2003 front blade that goes on the quick hitch, doesn't "technically" belong on this as those came out in the 90's for the newer g-series, but the quick hitch was the same. so..it wa on craqigslist right by my house by pure chance for $50. Great for maintaing the hard to getinto places in your drive where the big tractor (L35) can't reach. I since sold the G4200 with the 5200's manual parts swapped onto it and dead engine.
I think I got really lucky finding that 4200 with 3pt, pto, full hydro kits. I think that is a very rare setup as it was not quite worth it at the time to add that stuff, it was already a very expensive tractor and those kits probably added 50% more.
In all, IIRC, I have about $2400 into my setup, implements included. It's been a solid setup for 2 years now. That blower is awesome, that 3 cylinder diesel just loves to be loaded up, sounds beautiful when you push it into 9" of fresh snow. No more stacking for me, that thing blows snow a good 20-50'.
