Discussion:
Connecting a sideshifter to Vickers valve

Hello, mine is a Clark C500 Y40 PD (Y355-2826-GEF3966), to which I would like to fit a side-shifter and/or a bucket. As far as I can see, there is the Vickers valve already installed on the right hand, but no leverage and no fittings to the front. Only "In" and "Out" hoses (I guess) are connected at the bottom of the valve. Can anybody tell, which fittings I should use for the lines and what kind of threads I am going to find? There is a threaded nipple on the upper left hand side (thread on the outside) and at the bottom, roughly between in- and output. I would appreciate any advice and or pics of the installation. Thanks

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
