Thanks everyone,
I just got all the hoses, fittings, and pressure relief valve today and got it all hooked up.
I ended up breaking the high pressure line from the pump (under the seat) and running it to a pressure relief that I also mounted under the seat. The other end of the relief valve I ran to the back with a quick connect.
Ran another quick connect line from the back to the high pressure in side of the "T" handle blade valve.
(gotta connect the two line together when the hoe is off)
I also put a tee in the low pressure connection to the tank and connected that to the relief.
It all works well and the hoe is reasonably fast with the pump that came with the tractor (not sure how many GPM it is) and I don't have to always be messing with a diverter valve.
All I gotta do now is cut way the cross bar and screen on the back of the ROP's so that I can fold the durn seat down...guess I'll do that and pressure wash the oil off of everything tomorrow.
A few new bushings, a coat of paint and the hoe is good to go...
I did notice that with the hoe on, the 450C dozer is a little light on the front though...guess I'm gonna have to back up most hills...
