Bush Hog 2240 QT loader

[Samtj]

I have a 2 spool valve on my Bush Hog 2250qt loader that I need some specs on. I've done several searches with no luck. It's a Dukes Fluid Power 3527wg. Is it open? Pressure relief? I just don't know what I have. I'd appreciate any info you can give on it.

Can you post a few pictures of the valve from different angles. I suspect that based on pictures we can determine if there is a relief in the valve and possibly whether open or closed center

Make sure to get pictures of any casting identifications by the ports on the valve.

6 ports or 7? If 7 it is an open center valve with Power Beyond. If 6 it could be a simple open center valve or (less likely) a closed center valve. Apply compressed air to the pressure port with the spools centered. If 6 ports and air exits the return it is open center. 6 ports and no air exits it is closed center. 7 ports and air exits the PB port it is OC with PB.

Here is a picture of the tag. I'll snap a few more this evening and post them. I'll also do the air pressure trick and post my findings. Thanks

It's not pretty but it does function.

That valve is cataloged in the Bush Hog loader parts listing.

 

[Samtj]

Yes it is in the list and has an exploded view of the parts but no info or specs that I could find.

 

[RickB]

Wheat is it you are trying to figure out?

 

[Samtj]

I'm trying to get some specs on the valve to know if it will pair up to the loader and tractor I want to use it on.
I was hoping someone here had some knowledge of this valve and could shed some light on the subject.

 

[RickB]

What tractor, what loader? Sometimes you need to give info to get it.
That valve is good for about 8 GPM and not much more based on the port sizes and applications I've seen it used on.

 

[Samtj]

I got what I needed. Thanks.

Can you post a picture of your joystick rod ends where they attach under the boot? We have the same loader, and bought replacement rod ends but we could use a photo to help us put it back together. Thanks
