Installing a 3rd function hydraulic kit on a Case IH D40 tractor - Part 1 - 037

This is Part 1 of an owner's DIY install of a third-function hydraulic kit on a Case IH D40, done to run a grapple instead of forks. It covers finding the forward-remote port since there's no PB port, mounting and wiring the valve, welding brackets for hose routing on the loader, and prepping for hoses, but stops before the system is actually functional. Best for owners planning their own third-function install who want the real troubleshooting and fabrication steps, not a finished result.

An owner-operator documenting his own hands-on install and learning process in real time, not a professional installer or dealer.
