665B could have a bang bang valve (servo) or PWM type depending on how old machine is. If I remember right if machine had bulkhead, round connector built in roof for receiver then it newer valve and if have deutsch 8 pin and two pin older valve. And just to clarify there were no beeline kits for these as a beeline kit has blue box on floor with all components in and auto guide all common roof. Some of same components but different. If newer valve then can use other guidance systems and will have sasa sensor on colum for override and if older valve it will have pressure switch.
This is the valve on the tractor. Documentation I can find by searching the part number indicates that it is a proportional valve.
I may have made an incorrect assumption that it is Beeline hardware. That is what my customer was told it had, and in the course of my research I found an AGCO press release from 2002 stating that they were using Beeline Technologies to incorporate auto guidance across all AGCO brands.
If this tractor uses the same architecture as the MT7-8XX tractors a simple CAN connection might be all I need. On the other hand if it was this easy I’d expect Ag Leader to have a CAN steer kit, but they only do for the C&D models.
