Selective Lift Control and 2 Implements

I recently bought a house with some property. As part of the settlement I received a 1953 Stage 1 Super H with a 3 point hitch conversion and a 5 foot finish mower attachment. The tractor runs great, a little leaky, but everything operates as it is supposed to. The 3 point has 2 single direction cylinders which are plumbed one to each of the liftall forward outlets. The tractor has a selective lift control mounted instead of single lift all control rod, it is not plumbed to the lift all, just operates the rod. I found a straight arm trip bucket loader with a manure bucket, 7 foot blade and pallet forks for it. I plan on using the tractor for general work around the property, mowing, moving brush and debris. Can the selective lift control be used to control both the loader and the 3 point hitch? As I understand it the using the outside tracks controls the left or the right side plumbing, center both. All the way back for pressure, middle to hold position, and all the way forward to release pressure and return the fluid to the reservoir. Can the left side be plumbed to the loader, using a t joint to split the lines to both cylinders and the right side be plumbed using a t joint to the 3 point cylinders. As long as the control is not operated in the center track would this work like a 2 control manifold? I plan on using one implement at a time but leaving the loader mounted when I mow and do not want to have to re-plumb the lines when I want to switch from working the 3 point to the loader or back.
 
I think it can be used in the way you describe. The biggest issue is to absolutely block out the possible use of the middle (all up all down) position. It needs to be mechanically blocked with a metal plate made to literally prevent lever movement forward or back in that middle slot. the reason is that the loader and hitch would than be isolated from each other at all times. If the middle slot were used the pressure sides of each (loader and hitch) would be paralleled together in a way that would allow loader cylinder pressure to surge into the hitch, or vice versa. This would cause potential dropping of the bucket and loss of controlled descent of the bucket load. Or dropping of the hitch load and raising of the bucket. Keeping them absolutely separate will do as you want. Be careful to make the lockout system even before trying the plumbing!! Jim
 
If you're asking the question I think you are
aasking,Yes you can use the "selective control
valve".One side for the loader,one side for the 3
point.The center 'slot' would run both hitch and loader at once..
