can anyone confirm, does this solenoid screw on? it is leaking pretty badly from this area and wondering if I can take this off and replace an O ring to fix.
It does screw on. Make sure to not to bend the linkage from the shuttle lever being in the neutral position. I don't remember what is used to seal it.
should i just disconnect the linkage? I assume i should keep this in place if I do so it doesn't get out of alignment?
Welcome to HEF stking10! You need to remove & reseal the control valve. Some useful info here - HeavyEquipmentForums It is a 580E, but very similar to yours.
I have a C, and redid the shuttle seal thing. Unhook the linkage to the solenoid, and there's a big nut you can unscrew the whole thing. If you don't have the manuals, send me a PM with your snail mail address, and I'll send you a CD.
I got it done, thanks!
HI, I know this is an old thread but I am having the same leak at this solenoid and was wondering if after you unscrew the solenoid, is the o ring visible or does the whole valve need to come out? I have a 580 C thank you,,,,
Was the o ring visible after you unscrewed the solenoid? thanks
Removing the solenoid does not reveal the oring, you need to remove the valve to replace the seals. Make sure you do the seal on the plunger as well.
Thank you alrman, is it a difficult job or does the entire valve just slide out in one piece?
