melrose 543b auxillary hydraulics location?

[jackc71]

Hello, does anyone know if the auxillary hydraulic is on all hydraulic control valves for the 543b and just plugged. The frame has a mount but no auxillary hooked up. Can I just plumb it in? TIA.

I would imagine that they used the three function valve in all the models, just for ease of inventory and keeping the same preformed lines, etc. My forklift has a capped off circuit for the side shift that it doesn't have.
You could always check the BobcatPartsOnline site for your serial number and look at the diagram for the valve and see what it has.

Thank you for your response. That is what I was assuming. I am mechanically inclined but inexperienced with hydraulic systems. I was trying to figure out if there were plugs in the valve that I can just tap into. It is actually a 542b. It appears that I just remove a bolt from the right controller and that frees it for use for an auxillary attachment.
