I took off the loader, it was kind of a pain without hydrualics to change pressure on the pins. I used wood blocks and 2 bottle jacks then backed out the tractor away from the loader. Then supported it with cinder blocks. As per an online serive manual I found, I switched the box lever from...

3 years later. Here we are. Tractor has been sitting and I'm back at it. Charged battery and it fired right up. I could not for a control alve anywhere nor any place that could rebuild the old one. The valve control is in my toolshed and all the loader lines are disconnected. I've decide to...

Thanks, just saw your link now, missed it before..duh.

Thanks for the help guys. I've searched far and wide with no luck. Even the CC listed part is the same as the one I bought off ebay. It appears I have an oddball valve due to the BYO/PB set up. If it weren't for that, yes I could change fittings for the pressure line and return hoses and I could...

old on right, new on left. these fittings (in and out from pump) are different but I could get the proper fitting for this. Not a biggy but the other two issues (stated above) are.

Pic 2: new one on left, old one on the right. Notice the spool valve ends at the bottoms of the pic/valve. They are similar but different and will not connect to my current control lever (single lever, 4 way stick)

I ordered this new control valve. It looked so similar to my old one from online pics. But once I got it, it's clearly different. Different spool valve ends where they hook up to the control lever and the biggest issue is the aluminum machined fitting that screws into the top of the valve...

thanks for that loader manual, it should help me.
