Fitting Generic joysticks on a 360 telehandler

[Plantman01]

I have a Terex 360 telehandler which no longer has a brain. No hydraulic functions work as a result. The brain is no longer available and there are no other machines broke that is the same as mine.
The machine has 5 proportional danfoss solenoids to contend with.

I can get joysticks off a crowd from Poland called hydraulic master, back up and service seems to be good. (Anyone dealt before)?

Has any one on here done something similar and it been a success? Or what obstacles would you face by doing such.
I know I would be doing away with safety on the machine but at the minute it won’t move - so need to do something.

Any help would be great.

What's up with it's brain?

Bought it with a ‘joystick problem’ turns out it has no brain

Do you have the brain box or has it been stripped? If you do there are some fkn clever people about. If you can find the right one I don't doubt they would sort it.

Nothing left of it wires been cut around where it has been. I’d say it has had an issue and was taken out for repair and never put back in maybe was lost or even couldn’t be repaired

That is a major bastard.

what you have found in your original post looks to be a possible solution then
looks to be a complete loom - plug and play

@jd6820 is the man to help here

 

[V8Druid]

biggest issue IMHDO would be the SLI/load sensing, which may well be incorporated in the 'brain'

Post some pictures of your valve please

Think I would target this question at the Joystick suppliers along with a picture/product numbers off the valves themselves. There are quite a few iterations of Danfoss solenoids some proportional others not. Not something we can advise on till we've seen a picture of the valves as @CPS has already suggested...

I think I'd be looking for a Matbro or John Deere telehandler being broken for bits to suit. You need the bit of magic that turns the solenoids on and off very quickly and in varying proportions of off & on.
A long shot would be to target Tetbury and area social media to see if there are any parts still about (when the old factory closed there were a lot of bits that got saved from the skip wagons)

This reminded me of having a site visit from Danfoss and seeing a machine with an intermittent fault plugged into an oscilloscope
The nice man accidentally left his full manual handle on the valve block and it had settled to the bottom of the land rover door pocket
