Fellow Red Owners,
I just bought a B7100 with 1300 hours on it for $2500. I has a 60" belly mower on it and is in "fair" condition. My skills as tool-time guy will come in handy in getting it back into shape with some TLC.
My question is, I built a "way-cool" loader for my Bolens that I traded in, and am going to do the same to this tractor over the winter. As previously done, I want to use the on-board hydraulics and am wondering what that block is (on the hydraulic line)underneath the throttle? Seems like the logical choice.....
Comments appreciated.......
Signed....Can_do

Can't say exactly about the B7100. If it were my Ford 1710, the block would be the combined hydraulic manifold/diverter valve/pressure relief block.
The block has auxiliary hydraulic system send and return ports and a slot screw selector for the diverter valve. The block is normally where a loader would be connected. The loader valve IN or P port goes to the block send port and the loader PB port goes to the return port. Which port is which on the block should be known with certainty. Connecting them backwards will do a lot of damage. A loader valve that has a TANK or low-pressure return line goes to a port on the cases.
The diverter valve is turned to the auxiliary system position, and that's it. Connected in this way, the continuous open center (or power-beyond) flow goes through the loader valve, back to the manifold block and on the 3ph. The 3ph still operates normally as long as no loader valve is operated.
