BX Third Function Valve Kit Accessory
380-137A VALVE KIT, BX THIRD FUNCTION
Refer to Figure 1-2:
Land Pride offers, as an accessory, the “BX Third
Function Valve Kit” . This kit includes a joystick with two
push-buttons (#14) for opening and closing the grapple
jaw, valve assembly (#2), bulk head assembly with quick
disconnect couplings (#1) to make hooking and
unhooking hydraulic hoses easier, and hose holder (#3)
for protecting the hoses from becoming pinched.
Initial Preparations
1. Park tractor on a flat surface, place gear shift lever in
park, turn off engine and remove ignition key.
Valve Assembly
Refer to Figure 1-3:
1. Attach valve assembly support bracket (#2) to
existing hole “A” in tractor platform with 5/16" x 1" bolt
(#6) and hex whiz nut (#8). Tighten hex whiz nut to 17
ft-lbs.
2. Route hydraulic hoses (#13 & #17) left of mounting
bracket (#2) and down beneath tractor platform.
Connect Hydraulic Hoses to Power Beyond
Refer to Figure 1-2 & Figure 1-3:
1. Place chocks in front and back of tractor’s left rear
wheel.
2. Loosen lug nuts on right rear wheel. Do not remove
lug nuts at this time.
3. Jack right rear wheel off the ground and place a jack
stand under the right rear wheel axle.
4. Lower right rear axle onto the jack stand. The wheel
should still be slightly off the ground. Make sure jack
stand is secure and will not slip out from under tractor
axle.
5. Remove lug nuts and right rear wheel.
6. Locate steel line connecting power beyond port of
the loader valve to the outlet block. The outlet block is
directly behind the right rear tire. The steel line
consists of two shorter lines connected together to
make one long steel line. Remove the rear short line.
7. Connect free end of hydraulic hose #13 to power
beyond port on the outlet block.
8. Connect free end of hydraulic hose #17 to the
remaining front short steel line, which is connected to
the loader valve.
9. Secure hoses to underside of tractor with cable
ties (#4).
10. Replace right rear wheel and screw lug nuts on until
snug.
IMPORTANT: Land Pride recommends that your
dealer connects hydraulic hoses (#13 & #17) to your
tractor’s power beyond ports. Improper hook-up
could cause damage to your tractor.
