880 loader fitting

[Alan walker]

Hi all , I bought an 880 this year and have been collecting parts to put a loader on it. Now got a complete loader with muck bucket, got the rams and now some brackets thanks to joe proctor who found some in the nettles. As my tractor has never had a loader fitted there is no hydraulics for it. Is there a proper db lever to find or will any one do. Also where was it positioned so I can get it as near as possible to how it should be. Any pics would be a big help. Thanks alan

What lever is this, if it's the one to lift the loader you use the same lever as the main hydraulics.

Do you mean I feed the loader off one of the ports on the 3way valve? If so where is the return as there is an oil return already plugged into the camels hump from the external hydraulics that works the log splitter. Many thanks alan

You could 'T' into it or use the return port on the rear axle, top left 1 1/8ins spanner size plug. Take the feed out 2 on the 3 way valve or 1 if you are already using 2.

Great many thanks for that. I’m having a day on it today. I will try and post some pictures.
