Long third-function valve kit on a Bobcat CT4055, covering bracket mounting, hydraulic line routing (inside vs. outside mount options), power-beyond connections, joystick knob swap, and 12-volt wiring routed through the firewall to the key switch. The installer rates it a 5-6 out of 10 difficulty and confirms function with a grapple at the end. Best for CT4055 owners considering this specific kit.
The presenter identifies himself as a salesman with mechanical ability, suggesting a dealer-adjacent perspective rather than an independent owner-operator.
The installer, a salesman with mechanical ability, rates it about a five or six out of ten difficulty and says most anybody can follow the directions.
The bracket allows either inside or outside mount. The installer chose the inside mount to help protect the valve.
Three wires, green, yellow, and blue, run from the valve up through the handle. Green connects to the top, yellow to the middle, blue to the bottom of the switch.
The hot wire runs behind factory zip ties, over the hood, through the firewall, and saddles onto the constant hot wire behind the key switch so it only powers on with the key.
