The Power Beyond and 3rd SCV kits installed. I installed the Power Beyond and 3rd SCV kits concurrently as they both tied into the loader SCV, which had to be removed from the tractor as part of the installation process. Doing the concurrent installation sure saved time down the road.

The Power Beyond and 3rd SCV kits installed. The top most fitting on a 45-degree angle is the return to sump port.
The bottom of the factory installed loader SCV. The third spool are the two fittings at the back with the hydraulic tubes exiting to the left of the picture. The control cable and third spool bell-crank are visible here too. If the clip vibrates off, I'll put in a cotter pin instead. With exceptions I just don't like cotter pins.
The 4th & 5th SCV kit is installed now on the right side of the SMV emblem. I call all the tubes and hoses the "Snake pit."
Another view of the "Snake pit."
The 4th & 5th SCV kit is installed now on the left side of the SMV emblem. I call all the tubes and hoses the "Snake pit." Because there is no Power Beyond port on the Rockshaft Control Valve (RCV), the 4th & 5th SCV is powered from the Power Beyond kit. Unfortunately the top of the 3PH's left lift arm hits one of the left control cables at maximum lift. Can't do much about that as it is a design flaw.
This shot shows the 1st/2nd/3rd SCV just below the shop stool and the rockshaft housing. The two hexagonal standoffs are for the seat mounting system.

Originally Deere had the quick connect attached to an elbow that would place the quick connect where the rockshaft filter is; but the hard metal tube portion of the elbow connected to the return to sump hose was too long and prevented installation per kit instructions. I like this better as it allows some pivoting motion at the quick connect.

I will be changing this wire routing in the future. Damned if I know why I did this. Probably fatigue.
This shows the Quadrastat cable control levers and the wiring for my PTO override selector switch and red flashing LED.
The right fender cover. Fortunately there was plenty of room for switches and LED's.
The right fender cover. Fortunately there was plenty of room for switches and LED's. I have a Brother P-Touch labeler and made the switch labels. I wish they offered a matte black background; but oh well, it's not a show-stopper. I labeled the SCV's with "3 4 5" and two of the switches as "SPARE." The PTO override switch has a check-mark when it's in factory mode, and a skull & crossbones for when I can operate the PTO without being on the seat. The red LED flashes when the PTO safety switch is in override. This is useful for spraying.
Port identification added to the SMV emblem.
