john deere 3020

A 1968 3020 wouldn't be side console, it would have the SCVs on the left side of the dash. Its harder to add remotes because the valves are up in the engine compartment and the connections are out back. The side console 3020 began in 1969 and the valve and connection block are together on the back of the final drive case. Virtually the same parts were used for several generations of JD tractors. Simpler to add bacause the pieces are together and the linkage is simple in the side console.

As an alternative, one could tap the elbow just in front of the brake pedals. It supplies pressure to the rock shaft valve. Convert the elbow to a T. Run thougoh a flow restrictor valve to a closed center valve hung on a shelf on the fender. I'd reverse the handles and put the valve under the shelf. Return to the transmission oil filter cover (drill and tap or buy one made for a 2640). Run cylinder hoses to suitable fittings hung out back. That's how loaders with their own valves are plumbed. You need the flow restrictor valve to keep for punching the ends out of cylinders when you open that new valve full.

I've two sets of outlets with separate flow restrictor valves on my 1968 (not side console) 4020, one for loader, one for the back I occasionally mount on the three point.

I've did it to my 3020 about 15 years ago.
