My Satoh Beaver (? 3 cyl 18hp) tractor came with an after market front end loader. Recently, the spool valves (two separate valves in a single casting) that control the loader have been acting strangely. Not working or moving very slowly in some positions, not returning to off when released, etc.
I am assuming that it is leaking O rings or some dirt in the valve assembly, but did not want to start taking it apart until I could find a source for replacement parts.
Does anyone know who made after market front end loaders for these tractors, whose spool valve they used, and where to get parts for it?
Also, any other suggestions for possible causes for these symptoms.
TIA
