My FEL (just bought a used tractor) wouldn't lift an engine block, nor would it lift a bucket half full of dirt, so I put a guage on the inlet side of the valve assembly. I was only getting 800psi. I adjusted the relief valve, but I can only get about 1100 psi out of it now. If I adjust (tighten) any further, it pops back out almost like it is stripped or something. When I took the relief valve all the way out, with the adjusting nut loose, it seems to hold and thread properly when it is near the low pressure end (threaded out). If I turn it near the high pressure setting (threaded in) it gets to a point, slips, then I can move it in an out about an 1/8".
I looked online, but couldn't find anything exactly like this relief valve, maybe I was looking in the wrong place or do I just need to buy a new loader valve assembly?
