Im looking to add a diverter switch from the auxiliary quick connects on the boom so that I can have the hoses for the thumb and the hoses for the tilt bucket attached at the same time and only have to flip the diverter on the boom when I want to run the thumb or the tilt...Has anyone tried this or seen it done and what were the results ? It seems like it should be possible and I just need to find the right parts to plumb it. any recommendations or thoughts and or quality of types of diverter switches would be great.

thanks lantraxco! judging by pic in your link it looks like the valve has a supply and return, and that whole valve body mounts to the boom or arm. Now all I have to do is find some downtime to start this little project....december looks promising..haha
