Question:

How can I connect 2 single spool hydraulic valves together to create up & down pressure on front-end loader?

I have a 460 Farmall, and recently mounted a front-end loader on it. I was told that I could use the 2 single spool hydraulic valves I already have, and not have to purchase a new costly 2 spool valve, for my up and down pressure. I was told to simply install a nipple fitting between the two valves. Anyone out there know about this?

Answer:

If these valves are org. equipment from the tractor; one control for up and down of the loader. the other for the bucket.
Northern Tool sells the valve that you need. It's much easier to use the valve made for the task than it is to rig something together and live with 2 different levers for up/down on the bucket.
