John Deere Garden Tractor Hydraulic Lever to Joystick Conversion- Super Easy!

[@buildingalegacypa]

That is a great modification! Thanks for the video!

Nice mod!

Thanks!

Cool, are you going to use the dash levers for like an independent 3 point hitch control or something like that? Cool idea.

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

I haven’t decided what I’m gonna do with them yet, which is why I haven’t removed them. It would be neat to install another valve for a 3rd function or the 3pt lift. Or maybe some kind of electrical function in the future. I’ll be installing a cab next and hopefully a full custom AC system so maybe I can utilize them for that. Still trying to get a rear PTO too. Thanks for watching!

Nice setup, strongly considering doing this on my X595. Does the joystick have the capability to work in float mode?

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

It does! Pushing the lever all the way forward puts it in float mode just like the larger tractors. It works pretty well!

@@LukesJohnDeereGarage Awesome, I will definitely be giving this a go

I should’ve kept my x748 with 45 loader, I got rid of because I didn’t the levers

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

You should have! It’s an easy conversion.

[@JohnBraman413]

does this work on x758 model?

[@LukesJohnDeereGarage]

I imagine it would be somewhat different in the mounting and connection, but it could probably be made to work if you were creative. I’ve never tried it on one of those.
