Did you add the rear remotes addressed in your earlier thread? If so, maybe post a picture or two.

What model backhoe do you have? If not a Kubota, post a picture of the connections.

Does @North Idaho Wolfman need to merge these threads?

BX2370s do not have a backhoe…nor can they unless it’s an aftermarket 3-point backhoe.

You asked earlier to add hydraulics to the back of a BX2370, In that thread they pointed to a kit for remotes.
That is much different than adding a Backhoe loop to the tractor.

The plumbing is easy but as @PoTreeBoy said we need to know what you currently have.

Dan
He has a BX2370 and wants to plumb it to run a BT603 Backhoe on it.
And also rear remotes.
The BX2370 was never equipped to run a BH, so the plumbing loop that needs to be added would have to be done like a BX23S.
If you need either WSM just ask.

So you have installed that kit and now have the rear remotes?
Now you just need to add a BH loop to run the BH?

Is this correct?

We haven't done anything with the hydrauiics yet
You need 3 connections
* P IN supply to bh
* PB OUT outlet of bh circuit to loader then 3ph
* T TANK (transmission case)
You can look at the BX23s parts diagrams to see how these are provided, and compare it to your tractor to see if they are similar. WorkShop Manuals for both machines are available at KubotaBooks for reference.

I think the BT603 relied on turning the tractor seat around to operate it. Will a BX23 seat assembly work?

Edit: ignore this post. North Idaho Wolfman must have been merging the two threads while I was typing. Since you have installed the rear remotes, you have the first two connections made, and maybe the tank connection. You'll need to tie into that loop. Happy plumbing!
