Long third-function valve kit, covering the hydraulic hose routing, how to locate the power-out port, and the electrical wiring, including stripping and soldering directly onto the main power wire and accessing the fuse. Practical and installation-focused rather than a product overview. Best for 4540 owners tackling the same setup who want a real-world reference point.
Posted by the Myers Homestead channel, with the presenter identifying himself as an owner-operator sharing his own hands-on installation experience.
Find the power-out port, connect the short hose from the kit to it, run hoses to the front, then wire the switch by stripping and soldering onto the main power wire behind the fuse box.
It comes down near where the original hose attaches; the video shows it was the hardest part to locate among the valves and kits on the tractor.
Pull the fuse box cover panel off, strip a bit of covering off the main power wire without cutting it, then strip and twist the switch wire onto it and solder and tape it.
The video states that using it with a Vernic Series 40 grapple, they found the rocker switch works better mounted on top rather than to the side.
