There are 2     7" or so round holes in the hoes QA, its on the left side, on the rh side of the left stabilizer. Hose goes in one side out the other. You need a # 10 j.i.c. male male joiner and 2 #10 caps to seal the valve off.You may be able to adjust it towards the loader. Mine the bracket was bent that held it, hence the makeshift "shim" required.Someone tried to dig without the hoe locked on properly and it came up and crushed themself against the loader.  (not sure how you could do that with the top hooks attached, but anyway)  So Bobcat shortened the handles you grab to mount the hoe and installed this valve. If you forget your levers up as soon as the hoe lifts itself away from the loader on the bottom it would stop because the oil stopped flowing. Its not a bad safety feature, but it is a pita. Even after I tried to fix mine, sometimes the handles locked down but the flow was restricted. I'd almost forgot about it.Ken</blockquote>
