Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mike10" data-source="post: 61775" data-attributes="member: 5461">If you want a permanent fix then you need to move the face plate valve to under the seat from the mounting plate.  If you are handy I believe the parts are in the 600.00 to 700.00 range.  The ones I have converted run in the 1000.00 to 1100.00 range with labor.  The advantage of moving the valve is all you have up front is the cylinder and two hoses and these hoses do not get in the way or get pinched because they are routed differently.  Depending on what variation of hyd face plate if you have not had an electrical problem yet you will if you have a ubolt holding the hoses and wire harness.  Also depending on what variation you have the pressureized oil could come from the control valve and go all the way to the face plate.  Blow this hose and you will go no where.  Moving the face plate valve closer to the control valve means you only have a hose 2 ft long that is pressurized when the controls are activated.  If you are tee'd into the bucket circuit for pressurized oil this is not as critical.  This was the original setup when the hyd face plate came out.   If you move the valve the hoses running along the boom will be replace by pipes that are clamped to the boom.  This keeps the hoses from being pinched if they come loose.I have done these conversions for 2 1/2 years now and to my knowledge I have not had an electrical or hydraulic failure yet.  Knock on wood.  I know what you went through to get to those hoses and when you can not move the unit out of the manure pile it is even a more fun job.</blockquote>
