hello I am working on my 03 773 g series I have developed a oil leak coming out of what I think is the rear spool valve based on pictures I found on here from a link a mod posted on instrustions for replacing seal( awesome by the way) I noticed the leak right away after a cold startup (-38deg celcius) thought maybe it was some kind of a relieve valve do to thick fluid causing excess pressure so I topped up fluid and carried on. next day even after being in shop all night did it again on start up. I flipped the cab and operated the tilt pedal and noticed a small stream shooting out of a small pin hole in what looks to be a metal or alloy cap on the top spool on the back side of the control valve assembly. now my question is , is that what usually happens when those seal leak or am I loking at another issue
Yep that sounds right, take the aluminum cover off (don't let any springs pop out) and replace the o-rings. Probably don't have to worry about the springs, but better safe than sorry.
Yep, definitely time to replace the loader control valve spool seals. :yup Welcome to HEF steve89. :drinkup
