Just a quick question I have a 1978 case 780 ck and my bucket control valve was leaking quite badly,so I removed it and replaced a few orings when I went to install it the control stick ended up being short ! I put it back together the same way I took it apart ! The bolt holes line up and I never adjusted the controls! I’m kind of stuck ! Anyone got some ideas why the stick would end up short !
I was on this site before then haven’t posted for a while ! Sorta lost my info , most of the info I got was from tinkerer
Please explain what you mean -- that it is short ? Is the rod hooked up to the control valve ? Or is it too short to be able to get the pin in the spool eye ? Look closely at the rod arrangement in the parts book. It will show exactly how the rods are arranged to the control valve.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to u I could not for some reason get on this site but todays a new day and I actually got the part back together! Sorry for taking so long but the internet is a pig sometimes
I do have some pictures to show I finally found the leak I’ve been hunting for it’s under the steering column at the back of the motor I’ll send picks ! I just don’t know if it’s a hose fitting they took off or just a plate ! It looks like a pump of some sort, I’ll send picks ! By the looks of it the piece has not been on from the time I picked this up !
I ended up losing a piece under the hoe I found it all is well I’m just hunting for a small part for the regulator valve pump I’m going on broken tractor to see if it’s available i did show some picks of it and finally found the part in the service manual I’ll see if I can order the parts or plug the hole LOL !
