I have Ford 800 series tractor. It doesn't have a live PTO but does have
the 3 pt hitch and associated hydraulics but no remote valves. Is there a
reasonably simple way to tap into the 3 pt hitch hydraulics so I could install
a couple of control valves. I would like to build a front blade arrangement
(okay a bulldozer attachment) for pushing snow. No I am not going to push
dirt with it as I have an OC-3 for that. The OC-3 is rather slow and it
takes 20 minutes of track lubing before you can go out and push snow.
The tractor used to have a loader on it which had a pump that was driven off
the front of the crankshaft. I could add a pump and tank, but if I could tap
into the existing hydraulic pump, it would make things simpler.
Thanks
