I finally got all my lines unhooked . I am trying to remove the 2 1/2" bolts holding it on. they are spinning but not coming out. Is there nuts on the bottom? If so, how can you reach them? This is one heck of a job.. thanks
one more question..what the wire for going to the bottom of the valve?
anyone? thanks
I don't know about the wire, but the valve is bolted down with 5/16 lock nut on the bottom. This is on a 1835, I don't see a listing for the bolts on a 1840 or later 1835's. You should be able to get to the bottom side from the rear.
I will give it a try. Darn engineers.
Just a guess but maybe someone put a ground wire to the valve mounting because that machine is strictly a manual stroke spool, there are no electrical hydraulic controls except for the aux hydraulic valve which has 2 solenoids.
You were right it was a ground. I finally got the spool off of the 1840. I used a Ford distributor wrench to remove the front bolt. My float is not working so I remember something about balls getting gummed up. Am I removing the correct piece? It does not want to come off . It does have 2 small bolts on it as well.
Does anyone know how much a dealer charges for a rebuild?
I would guess from $100 to $200. The balls that are stuck are holding it on. Look for the two plugs and remove them and then try to pull it off.
Are talking about the 2 plugs that have the small springs under them?
is the part in the picture is what I need to take off? thanks
Yes, you can see one of the plugs in the photo. One on each side, remove and remove the springs.
Ok thanks
how many ball bearings are there sub post to be in the spool valve for the float mechanistic ?
