Unable to select single mode on hydraulic valve

CtryBoyInMT · Jun 5, 2008

I was out working with my Farmall 460 and I connected to a single acting lift cylinder on a disc. When I put the selector in single mode, it still operated in dual mode. I didn't have time to take a very good look at it, but from what I could see, the selector and pin appeared to be in good shape and operate correctly, externally.

My question is if this is a common problem.

It has never done this before and the last time I need to select single mode, it worked fine (approx. 6 months ago). Please tell me the valve doesn't need a rebuild!

Check to make sure the roll pin in the detent is not bent or broken. You may have the spool turned too far.

Thanks Owen,
I'll take a good look the next time I'm up at the farm.
I wouldn't consider myself a schematic or hydraulic expert, but I can't see if the valve works well how it would need a rebuild.
I just hate hydraulics because your guaranteed to get all gooey!
