My 1450 has the front hydraulic ports for the power-blade cylinder. I have read that people have tee'd the hydraulic lines to include rear connections. I was wondering if anyone here has experience doing this and could provide some pointers? I have limited experience working on hydraulic systems and don't want to screw something up.

I was hoping to use the tractors hydraulic system to actuate the cylinder on a small hydraulic dump trailer. It'd be super neat if I could do this using the blade angle control lever to do this.
 
Jon,you could simply run a hose back to a cylinder (2) and it would work off your handle.Be aware !! Cub hyds use their own fittings,they are not common in hyd repair shops.I've forgotten where I purchased mine but our sponsors should have or know where to acquire.So you have a cub fitting up front but your rear cyl.may be different .Have hoses made correctly..confusing,of course....

I was looking at getting one of these kits:

https://www.xtrememotorworks.com/Hydraulic Parts.html

Is it just a matter of unscrewing the couplers on the front to put the Tee's in? I think I was over thinking the complexity a little bit.
 
Jon, Ive never done it so no answer from me .If you read the following items for sale it clearly stated cub hyds are different fittings but if you are removing cub fittings it at least seems it should work.I would want to be sure of thread size on machine first before ordering parts.
 
The tees would likely go between the control valve and the lines that go to the front outlets. That kit is the way to go. The hard part of figuring out what fittings, etc are compatible has already been done.

Good to know! I initially was worried tee'ing it might involve cutting the lines and re-terminating them with the Tee fitting.

You will need to verify thread sizes , but something like these valves could do it. The kit from the previous Post looks like a good way to go.
OR
Put one valve each on your front and run hoses to rear off the Tee. Put both valves as a thru for the front hydraulics, with quick connects. Turn both valves for rear hydraulics.

I helped a neighbor put these in-line on his FEL. Now he can turn off his Bucket Curl and use that hydraulic to Angle his snowplow.

Those valves don't do anything useful in the OP's case though...there's no need to do this since there is not a hydraulic cylinder in the front outlet circuit that cannot be removed, like there is on your neighbor's loader tractor. There's nowhere to put valves that large anyway without cutting stuff.

I guess you dont have to shut off the front when using thd back so you can just Tee in. This will allow front or rear depending on where the implement is.
Thanks

Yeah, I'd really like to avoid cutting anything. I'm not confident enough that my ***** self wouldn't screw something up and make a big headache for myself haha.
