B7100 w/ B219 Loader: Valve Question

[ojaikubota]

I have a B7100 4WD with a B-219 loader. The lever on the control valve which operates the bucket angle is seized solid; the up-down lever works fine. I can't seem to find a part number for the valve. Can any 2-spool valve be used? Does anyone have experience of repairing the original valve or replacing it? Should I go with a genuine Kubota part? Is there a chance that the valve is OK and the cylinder seized? -- how can I tell?

Thanks everyone.

I've had valves Freeze? Water in the caps on bottom of spools.

Welcome to TBN


I would guess with some careful inspection your valve can be saved, It could be a simple linkage problem, or the spool could have a little rust on it.

Have you done any dis-assembly of the valve? If you don't feel comfortable you could take it to a local hydraulic shop and have them take a look.

If yours cannot be repaired, then this joystick valve from the SurplusCenter is a great replacement.

ah that's terrible, well it's junk now so i'll go ahead and take the loader off your hands and relieve you of that non working jalopy.

just kidding, welcome aboard, these jokers will get you straight quick.
