Patent ID: 7913713

Claim:
A hydraulic fluid assembly in a wet kit mountable to a tractor for providing hydraulic power to a detachable trailer, comprising: a rigid manifold having a first pressure inlet port, a first pressure outlet port and a second outlet port; a pressure relief valve operatively connected between the first pressure inlet port, the first pressure outlet port and the second outlet port, the pressure relief valve limiting pressure at the first pressure outlet port below a threshold level, such that hydraulic fluid traveling through the rigid manifold from the first pressure inlet port to the first pressure outlet port can provide hydraulic power from the tractor to power a hydraulic cylinder on the detachable trailer at a pressure below the threshold level; a mounting bracket for connecting the rigid manifold with the pressure relief valve to a frame of the tractor, for on-highway travel at highway speeds with the tractor; and a three way valve having an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet, with a flow blockage member moveable to allow or prevent hydraulic fluid flow from the inlet to the first outlet and from the inlet to the second outlet, with the three way valve attached relative to the mounting bracket for attachment to the frame of the tractor jointly with the rigid manifold; wherein the first pressure outlet port extends on a top side of the mounting bracket, and wherein the inlet of the three way valve extends on a bottom side of the mounting bracket.
