Loader Yanmar 2610D with Bulldog 287 loader. I need a bucket control valve

[Knine]

Does anyone know where I can get a new Bulldog 287 loader bucket control valve? Mine is worn out and held together with bushings and spacers from the hardware store. It is running on borrowed time.

I know at one time Hoye had some Bulldog cylinders but don't know about the control valve. They do sell a control valve that would likely work on your Bulldog. LOADER VALVE - JOYSTICK STYLE: Yanmar Tractor Parts

Thank you. Yes, that's the only one I have been able to come up with anywhere. I guess I'll have to try it.

Might just ask Hoye if they have any made for the Bulldog loaders.

I'm going to unbolt it from the tractor and see if there is anything on the backside that might indicate who made it before I call Hoyt. Then I'll call and ask about Bulldog parts. Thank you Winston1.

That’s the same valve on my 285 loader. Someone here had replaced their valve and had identified the manufacturer. Mine was not marked, as yours isn’t. If I can find the thread, I will post it.

Thank you Rokryder. I would really appreciate it.

I found the post...actually, it was Winston1 that posted it. The valve is Turkish and made by Akon. I believe the model number is AMV-502F
here's a link to a CAD drawing of it on YouTube:

Thank you for posting this info. This was hard to find.

You don't need to get the OEM Bulldog valve. A US made valve is probably a lot better. I have two lever or joystick valves for compacts.
