Do you mean the three on the bottom edge? I think that's where the arms go up and down with the spring inside that actuate the hydraulic fluid to the A and B ports for each set. I am thinking I need to take off the valve so I can actually see it properly and clean it up really well, to make sure...

Hey all - thanks so much for all the help you've all been providing so far, and sorry if my explanations haven't been clear enough. I think @chrismac that's what I need to do. I'm guessing the pump or somewhere in that unit under the seat there must be a relief valve - but you're right in your...

Thanks Chris, I was hoping you might chime in seeing your experience with the same tractor! So the issue I have is the loader valve doesn't appear to have a power beyond valve - just a third joystick valve that goes to a point at the rear Unfortunately, I don't have a rear spool valve like...

What you just said about the 3PH being open center valve now makes sense. The backhoe isn't supplied any hydraulics by the tractor. It runs off the PTO and has its own hydraulic tank and pump. There are 7 lines on the loader valve. I think the seventh one is just connected to one side of the...

Yeh, all still works fine. Backhoe is only connected to frame and PTO, not into the tractor hydraulics. I've been reading @chrismac long post and it looks like he had the same triangular block under the seat. But then it also fed another set of spool valves under the seat too

Ok, so one side is P, the other side is T. There isn't a PB. The line other than the 4 going to the front loader lift and curl, is on a third joystick lever going to a quick connect at the rear of the tractor, I guess a one way valve for a rear implement. The thing that's confusing me is how the...

Thank you @LD1 for that, given me plenty to go check - I did see a P on the outside on one side, so I'll try to squeeze a phone camera round the other side. Just for my understanding then, I assumed there was always fluid flowing round the system, but from what you said about there not being...

Hiya I've recently purchased an old Iseki TX2160 and am slowly working through the obvious faults, servicing etc and trying to make sure it's working as it should be (as much as possible for this old machine!). The tractor has both a front loader (I believe it's one from a Kubota) and a backhoe...
