I purchased a re-seal kit, cleaned everything, and put it together. All went well, I thought, and no leaks. But now it won"t un-load the hydraulic pump, the engine boggs down, and the touch control assembly starts to heat up. If I move the left or right control all is well as long as the piston is moving. When the piston stops moving the engine boggs down again. My shop manual is no help. It worked great when I got it. What did I do? Please Help. [Reply]   [No Email]

I put it together for the 7th time, and now it works. Apparently the relief ball end of the unload piston had a odd shaped wear pattern due to 60 plus years of wear and tear. Apparently when re-installing the unload piston, it was never back in the original position. When unload pressure was applied to the unload piston it would cock in its bore when making contact with the unload ball. Dressing up the ball end of the unload piston cured the problem.

Make sure it is free to move, no burrs etc. I'm not sure which passages lead to/from the valve, but I suppose there could be an obstruction in one of them. [Reply]  [No Email]

I have it on my work bench, and I have the end plate off, anything you can suggest to help me figure this out is greatly appreciated [Reply]  [No Email]

If you have the drawing it"s #30. [Reply]  [No Email]

Yours is not functioning, probably due to the orifice or orifice screen being plugged. You can get at it through the pipe plug in the head. [Reply]  [No Email]

Thanks, and can you think of anything else? Is it possible that the hydralic level being too full could create this problem? [Reply]  [No Email]

The pistons that operate the rockshafts? If you have a spool valve leaking, I assume you have a bypass block to feed a remote valve, that operates some other implement, that is leaking?
