2182 dual hydraulics
 

I have a 2182 and just bought a 54" blade with the hydraulic angle option. I only paid $125.00 and got new tire chains for 26" tires thrown in! Now the question. What valve do I need to add a second hydraulic valve and front ports? I just bought this valve "Cub Cadet 1772 Super GT 2 Spool Hyd. Valve 717-3025" on Ebay, but now I'm pretty sure its not what I need. I think from some of what I've been reading is a second valve to stack onto the original. What and where to get the parts I need would help a whole lot. I use a snow blower for the snow, this blade would only see dirt and sand, not that makes any difference LOL.( I guess I'm saying I'm not racing the snow). TIA Don

I have the valve you need thanks to CubyFan, problem is I don't have the connectors that go between the 2 valves so that you can stack them and they are NLA from Cub. They used to sell a kit for the Cyclops tractors but it is NLA. I’ll do some digging and see if I can get you some more info.

If it is the "square" valve like on my 1782 the fitting is still available from cub. It's about $12 plus the O rings and backer washer. Need to look under 3000 series to find the part.

That's the part he is going to need. I'm going to defer to you for the part number. That or give us a 3000 series model number, I looked around at the3000 stuff and didn't find it.:bigthink:

Here is a pic of the dual sticks I added on my 3k tractor. Look in the (365)cat 0 parts section page 4. It is part #711-3294, you will need the rings with it also if they don't come with it. I probably have a few extra laying around if you can't find any.

That is why OCC is the best! You guys rock! We don't need no stinkin MTD to Git Er Done! :beerchug:

I used part # 711-3294 with o rings 921-3021 and o ring back up 721-0492 to add two new valves. I learned that you do not need to "over" tighten the 1/4 bolts that hold them together. It can bind the valve and not allow you to move the lever.

No idea what it looks like but MTD is proud of it

711-3294 ADAPTER-VALVE $18.69

I would like to get my hands on one and see what it would cost to have them made. :bigthink:

Sam,
If you give me a little while, I can provide the dimensions of the part. I bought one a while back so I could have a pattern to make my own.

Unfortunately, by the time you buy the material and pay the shop to have one made it would be very expensive. I'm guessing that part would be at least $50 by the time you get it. My time for pet projects doesn't have a lot of value at times or I wouldn't make my own. I'm also sure that they will be NLA within a few years and I still have decades of working on Cub Cadets ahead of me.

For some of your general hydraulic needs, check out Baum Hydraulics in Omaha, NE. I get a lot of my hydraulic stuff there. Request their catalog. I'm not a fan of their website.
