I was moving and spreading dirt with my 8050 Branson tractor (400 hrs.) and the joy stick "locked up" on the "up & down" part of the control. While trying to move the joy stick, the cable broke.
A new cable was installed and still does not work.
Upon further investigation it was determined that the spool had traveled to for out in the "down" travel and was stuck in this position. We could not force the spool to return back into the valve.
New valve ordered. After the new valve is installed under warranty, the dealer and I will open up the valve and try to see what caused this failure.
The spool is so for out that the oil is circulating so the pump is not dead-heading.The dump circuit works as it should.
What do you'll think happened inside of the valve?
I will post a follow up when we find the problem.
