It traces the hydraulic lines from the loader through the tee, both grapple cylinders, and up to the third function valve and its electrical actuation, while sharing real problems encountered: a grapple that once fell off due to worn plates and cylinder failure, plus a recurring blown fuse. Useful for owners installing or troubleshooting a similar grapple/third-function setup.
