I purchased a electric 3rd function kit from WR Long for a grapple. After having most of it installed I realize this kit was for a mid mound loader valve. My loader runs off the rear remotes.
I ran a hose off the pressure oil port to the T port on the WR Long valve and a hose off the P port back to the return oil port. It isn't working, what am i missing? thanks for any insight

Sounds like your valve is hooked up backwards to me?

The P is pressure and T is tank, so you should have the pressure from the tractor going to the IN or P on the new valve.

Did you install the pipe plug mentioned?

I switched my hoses at the T and P ports and now the loader works but only if i hold the rocker switch open and the bucket will go up and the grapple will open at the same time. When I installed the plug i could work the grapple by its self. Loader will only go up if i hold the rocker switch open still and i lost my rear 3pt hitch.

I moved the hose off the oil return port to the excess oil return port and everything works as it should now

I have a 5310 4WD- no cab, bought new with 541 loader, original joystick control as well as 4 rear connections controlled by two mid mount levers in front of seat , normally used for hydraulic scrape blade. I want to add the W R Long 3rd function kit to the loader stick so I can add a grapple. W R long was unable to help with the appropriate JD power beyond kit for my application. I have seen several on JD parts diagrams but am unclear as to which, if any would
work with this configuration.
Any help is much appreciated.
