Need loader valve for Mahindra MH115 loader for 3016 tractor

[perryg114]

I did some more research. When you install a front end loader (FEL) the flow from the pump to the rear 3 pt hitch is diverted to the loader valve and you have to re-establish that flow by running out of the power beyond port to the other side of the flow diversion. Looked at my Kubota manual and it was similar to the Mahindra but it had a flow diagram. To connect the loader valve, you remove a block. This block covers two holes but it has a bridge to allow flow to pass. You remove that cover and install a fitting in each of the two holes. The pump side goes to the loader valve and the power beyond is routed back to the rear implement control valve.

Another issue I encountered with the Chief valve that I ordered from ebay is that the valve is backwards. That means that the hoses have to come out the back of the unit instead of out of the front which is the way that I have seen it on most tractors. This is a royal pain especially since many vendors don't tell you this up front of even know it is an issue.

Interesting. I guess I don't quite understand. The work ports are on top of the valve I thought. Is that not correct?

Could you post a picture?

This the way I want it to be but if mounted this way the loader functions are reversed. So this would have to be flipped 180 degrees with the ports facing backwards to work. If this valve did not have a float function then you could just flip the hoses. I did find a way to flip it 90 degrees so the ports are facing the left. This is better than having them face backwards.

So to go into float you have to pull the handle away from the ports?

If this is the case you can change the pivot block for the joystick to give you the proper orientation. It may require a different pivot block or sometimes you just have to flip that one. Bailey Hydraulic should stock what you need to mount this way.

K5 is right, you can just rotate the pivot point 180, and it will be the way you want.

You can also rotate the single lever pivot block 180 if you want it closer to you.

Some valves are built to be installed 4 different ways. They usually will have two different pivot blocks available to achieve this. Each block can be mounted two different ways. However, some of those screws that hold the block can be extremely tight. Make sure you use a good screwdriver. Lol

Here is a video on how to mount a joystick on a Badestnost valve, which is who actually made those Chief valves. Then they just rebrand it to whoever wants to sell those.

Should give you a better idea of how the linkage works on the joystick.

Yes I rotated the block at the top and it rotates the pattern clockwise 90 degrees. I would like to have the block that would reverse is 180 degrees but I may have to live with what I have. Now the ports are facing to the left. It is not optimum but at least 7-9 hoses won't be dangling at my feet.

Give Bailey a call and explain what you need. I bet they can help. Super nice people.
