More hydralic questions

My questions are:.....

1. What is the name of this valve thingy marked "#1", and is it considered a 2-way valve, that can be used on 2-way cylinders for up and down pressure?

2. Do the hoses marked "#2" and "#3" look correct, they are on different "levels" of the valve thingy, regardless of how the photo looks.

3. "#3" hose is actually on the same level as "#4" hose which runs to the other side of the tractor and is hooked to the rear opening on that side. (does this look correct?)

4. "#2" hose is on the same level as "#5" outlet that does not have a hose connected to it. (does this look correct?)

5. Does any of my rambleing make sense? LOL

I know absolutely nothing about hydralics, and I hope this picture is worth a 1000 words.

Thanks RoninKS

Picture with 7 hoses.

Thanks for the reply, that's what I thought.

"Looks like they have it hooked up to use a one way cylinder. If theres a plug in tee behind # 5 and hose 3 and 4 are togeather there using them as return to reservior."

Yes, there is a plug in the tee (very hard to see in the picture),.... and 3 and 4 look like they run together.

"hope I didn't get # mixed up. It looks like the original belley is removed and using the housing for reservior or hydraulic tank."

That's what I thought also!

"I can tell you the most common way the live pump and 2 way valve are done. The valve opening to left side of tractor, some valves have opening to front also but it and left are in same passage, this is the pressure tie in from pump on engine. This line should be teed before valve and a regulator and return line to reservior to protect pump."

OK, I'm a bit lost now, is there a diagram (or pictures)on the forum that I can look at? :>)

"2 Valve openings to rear of tactor is where lines for 2 way cylinder go. The pipe on bottom that valve is mounted to is return oil to reservior. A pipe should come out near bottom of reservior and go to pump on engine for suction"

Yes, there's a hose running from the belly to the pump (hose #7), and a hose running from the pump to the valve (hose #6).

Thanks agin for your reply.

Appreciate the info.

I think it would be a simple matter to come down from the tee with a relief valve and hook into the pipe, if that's a good place to put the relief valve.

I thank you agin, for your replies.
