Gents, Apologies for the delayed response. I was able to get back on this last night and using your suggestions, have learned more: - With the shuttle TEE disconnect from the remotes, it did leak when operating the loader. I removed it and thoroughly cleaned the check ball area. No visible...

@Cycledude @Harry in Ky - Thank you both. Your inputs got me to thinking...... When I installed the new loader valve I did check the pressure coming from the sense port (of the new valve) and felt like it was adequate, although I never found a spec and I don't remember the pressure I saw. I...

Background: last summer I purchased a 6610 with loader. The loader controls and valve were so poorly rigged, I replaced both with an appropriately rated new CCLS valve and joystick combo. The plumbing is correct in that it's supplied from a TEE in the large pressure line connecting the priority...

Does the Pioneer 4050-3 female coupler utilize a backup ring? I've recently purchased a tractor with loader that utilize the Pioneer 4050-3 female and 4010-3 male fittings. All 4 loader connections were leaking when I bought it. The Parker literature indicates that this coupler takes a -116...

Ok. Thanks for your help. Once the joystick and cables come in, I'll fab up a connecting bracket.

Thanks TractorTech. Ok on the cables-I'll add them to the order. I did look at that connection kit and was wondering if would work. Do the slotted "ears" on the bonnet retainer slide down over the valve cast bosses and pin/bolt in place? I searched for some pictures or videos of it...

Harry, TractorTech: I very much appreciate your input and sharing your knowledge. Thanks for the info on the block. I'm not sure I want to restrict the loader speed that much. From what I've read, very few people like going that route. I should have been more clear. It's not that I mind...

Yes

@Harry in Ky @TractorTech I appreciate you guys chiming in. Harry, I was thinking the same thing (new joystick and cables and fabbing up something to anchor the cables better), but really wanted to get away from the button if at all possible. The line coming from the solenoid valve is...

Hey all, Longtime lurker/new poster here. I have a new-to-me Ford 6610 Series 2 with a Great Bend 570 loader. It has, what I believe to be a Gresen 2702 hydraulic valve controlled remotely by a crude and very worn homemade joystick and cables. The joystick has a momentary push button on the...
