J.D. SCV Parts

[IslandManMitch]

I have JD 4600 with a 460 loader and 48 backhoe. The selective control valve (SCV) operates the front-end loader stopped curling the bucket. I found the problem to be the center Load check valve. The online JD parts catalog does not break down the SVC enough to get a part number. The local dealer says this part of the SCV is not serviceable and I have to buy a new SCV unit at around $600. The JD technical manual states "Remove valve. Replace O-ring. Inspect poppet and spring for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.( Mine is damaged.) When I told the dealer this he says he don't know why the manual would say this. I called another deal in the next town, he said he would have research it and get back with me. A week and four calls from me gets nothing. Does anyone know where I might get the part I need? Thanks, Mitch

Welcome to TBN!
This sounds like its going to be a PITA for you!
Do you have the SCV removed from the tractor? If so, you could try to get the parts from a hydraulic shop in your area.
That is all the advice I have, hopefully someone else can help more...be patient.

There is usually only a couple of parts to a load check, the spring, the poppet and some o-rings. The o-rings should be pretty common. The spring and poppet are probably propritary to that valve and are not going to be found unless you get them from JD. I am sure those repair parts are available and are identified somewhere in a JD parts manual. Spending $600 for a new valve is silly when the replacement parts will probably cost less than $20.

I am assuming JD has some type of customer service. If your dealer is hesitant to look up parts why don't you just contact JD customer service directly?

Thank you Ken for the welcome and input. No, I don't have the SCV removed I was able to take the load valve out in place.
Mad you are correct there is an O-ring, spring and poppet. I believe I have no choice but to get the parts from John Deere. I am not buying a new SCV that is crazy. I was hoping someone knew a knowlegeable JD parts man that could give me a part number for the individual parts or rebuild kit. I have a call in to a third dealer hoping he can help.
Thanks Mitch

Third Dealer no help. Says he cannot find the breakdown on the SVC for the parts either. E-mailed JD but have not received a reply. Anyone have this problem before with their SVC? Any place for me to look?

Have you tried JDParts online? They have drawings with everything exploded and every part is identified. On a different screen you enter in the part number and it gives you a price along with current stock at area dealers. I research all my parts this way to avoid confusion at the parts desk.

I regret to say yes I have. It breaks it down to the SCV and check valves but not the check valve part numbers or a kit. I am hoping someone has been here and knows where the secert answer is.

You might try contacting Husco International. I believe deere uses their valves on this tractor. It looks alot like the model 9210. They have only one location in the U.S. :
HUSCO International, Inc.
W239 N218 Pewaukee Road
Waukesha WI 53188 USA
Phone: 262-513-4200
Fax: 262-513-4514

Thanks JD 110 I'll call them first thing monday morning.

I don't think you will have much luck with Husco especially if that is a valve made especially for JD. Husco also makes the Kubota loader valves and they will not discuss anything about them, function or parts wise. They will refer you back to the tractor manufacturer which is Kubota. I'll bet that the valve is made for JD so they will be no help at all, but then again you might get lucky and it will be a standard catalog item and they will help.
