I'm thinking of adding a hydraulic breaker on my 95 JCB 214S. The machine never had factory breaker lines, but I managed to grab a used OEM hydraulic line kit.Just wondering if can I install it as-is or repurpose any parts to make it work? Also, I don't have the foot pedal or activation valve setup. Anyone here tried it? Looking for tips. Thanks!
 
You've got the OEM line kit, that's already a huge win even if it wasn't originally specced for a breaker and you could install the lines as is, especially if they're JCB parts meant for that series, get ready for mods though, now without the foot pedal and activation valve you won't have a clean way to trigger flow to the breaker, try retrofit a solenoid valve and wire in a switch to the joystick or cab panel instead of hunting down the original pedal setup
 
Are you planning to control it with a custom switch or add the OEM foot pedal setup? Also, do you know if your current valve block supports auxiliary flow, or will that need modding too?
