stage 2 super md hydro plumbing

Andrew Z · Oct 6, 2009

i have a 53 stage 2 super md and it has the factory live hydraulics. right now all i have is the two lines that go from the pump to the res under the tank. how do i hook up a loader with 2 way cylinders and a power bucket? i am thinking of buying a 2 stick spool valve and use that, but im not sure how to hook it all up.

thanks

Andrew

My SM's are '54 (SMTA) but may be plumbed like the '53s.

There are 3ea 1/2" ports facing the rear on the reservoir. Seems like most SMTA"s use the top port. Run a hydraulic hose to a two spool open center valve. Run the return to a tee at the filler plug or a tee at the big hose at the bottom.

You probably know how to plumb the cylinders.

To energize the two spool valve, pull the Lift-All lever back. It will stay engaged unless the pressure kicks it out. You can override the "kick-out" by turning the little clip where the lever enters the reservoir.

I always buy three spool valves so that I have an extra one for whatever. I mount it in a vertical position on a homemade bracket bolted to the frame lid. It is located to the left of the battery box.
