I figure i would post this here for anyone that goes searching in the future. I wanted to add front ports on my 1864 as i am lucky enough to have a power angle blade. I did read alot on this but no one had just a thread on what there used and part numbers. While doing this i found a NOS kit for 600 and thought i would do it a lot cheaper and i did.
I got a used valve, lift cylinder and lines for 150.00
I got one couple to marry the valves 711-3294 and 5 O-rings from cub for about 40.00
I have about 15.00 in some 3/8" JIC fittings and brake tube.
I had new lines made they were the second most expensive part at 70.00
I used stock parker couplers and i like keeping it stock and i had them already.
First thing i did was cut the dash and install the second valve. I learned not to over tighten them as it would cause the valves to bind. I re used my factory return tube back to the pump and just extended it 3" to make that work. For the lines they are NLA from cub and i decided i wanted something that looked factory as possible. So i cut the metal parts of the lines off that go into the valves. I decided it flair them in 3/8" JIC as it's simple and cub already used it and it's proven to work. I went to my local napa they they made me custom 3/8" line, One side is 3/8" JIC and the other is 1/4" NPT to fit the parker valves.
This is a little long and i'm not the best at documenting anything but thought someone might want to do this as well one day and it might help them.
