Hi all

Have recently purchased an rx141 here in Aust. Im certain it is a Jap import. Trying to find out any information i can. In particular i want to add an auger drive. There is currently no pipe work for this however it looks as thought there is a spare port on the block. The machine has an offset boom so i was planing to run steel pipework up to the knuckle and then rubber from there. Any thoughts / suggestions? The offset boom is driven by a foot pedal on the right hand side of the controls. It looks as though there may have been a provision for another pedal for the heal of the foot as there is a slot in the metal housing below the seat that is nearly right above the hydraulic block. I will try and get some pictures to aid. The alternative to this would be to use the lines for the knuckle boom and put 3 way valves in to divert the flow from the knuckle ram to the auger.

Thanks in advance.

These are pics of the spare port on the block. My plan is to use this to drive the auger / other aux attachments. I have to work out a way to use the valve when sitting down. I imagine that this valve was used for some sort of aux piping on some models. My alternative is to divert the flow from the knuckle on the boom to the auger therefore using existing pipe work and foot pedal. Any thoughts??
