Default 1211 h2 2 spool valve install

Like most of us, I wanted to have dual hydraulics on my 1211, but didn't want to pay the price for a cub 2 spool valve. I opted to buy a john deere H2 valve off eBay which only cost me about $45. Here's a pic of the 1 spool cub valve and the 2 spool JD valve.



I'm mounting it to the bracket. It was pretty easy. There's a few unused holes in the cub bracket and one of them line up perfect, so I only had to drill one new hole. Here's a pic of it installed.



This is the point where the train came off the tracks. I needed a few different fittings than what I had, and there's no place to buy fittings around here on a Sunday. Since I couldn't run the lines, I figured I'd at least install the coulpers in the front and rear. I was unable to use the factory lower hole on the front of the tractor because the engine mounting rail. The engine mounts are in the way, so I had to drill a new hole next to the upper hole. I know the fittings are a little close together but as you can see the belt for the mower is right there and I wanted to keep it as far away as I could. Here's pics of the front and rear couplers installed.





When I installed the valve, I was able to use the factory lines that run to the rear-end, but I had to modify the return line a bit due to the extra width of the 2 spool valve. The factory line has some pretty tight bends that a close to the ends, so I opted to shorten it instead of making a new one.



Hopefully, I can get the rest of the fittings I need, and finish this project up next weekend.

I wouldn't say top notch, maybe 2 notches from the top.

FWIW,
Normally you would use parker style hyd. fittings.
Since you are not encountering high pressures, the inverted nut/flair connection is ok, but do make sure you double flair them as in brake/fuel lines or over time vibration will crack the line right @ the flair.
If you know/did this, great

If your talking about the splice in the return line, I did double flare them.

I finally made it to the hydraulic shop this morning to get some lines made, this project was on the back burner but I messed up my knee on Tuesday and can barely walk so I need something to mow with that doesn't have a clutch. This weekend is pretty busy but hopefully I can find time to finish up this project, more pics at that time.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
