I have an 18 yr old KK still going strong, just keep it greased is all.

OK I thought there were more than the 2 bolts so I figure pattern don't matter. So I was looking for the torque for the 2 bolts. I bought it in Spartanbugh SC. There is really only one JD dealer here in western NC and they get away with charging ya double what list price is for any part. I...

1195 hours It was to the point that after about 5 minutes the handle is hard to move and has toi be moves back to center. Bought the new bucket control about 6 months ago and now have to install it. Can anyone give me the bolt tightening pattern and the torque I would be thankful.

Ok I purchased a new bucket control. Hopefully putting it in one day this week. Does anyone know the torque for the bolts would be? Or where I could find info, where I bought it was useless.

No rebuilt kit but ya can buy all the parts individually, except the spools I think they are called. I did order the control valve though.

No not yet. Kind of skidish spending $600.00 for the control valve. But there isn't much else it could be.

I don't know what temp the control body is to be at but after mowing for a few hrs the bucket control is very hard, the valve body temp is about 145* and it's 85* outside.

Ya wouldn't happen to have a part number would ya?

I will be cutting grass today so I will check to see if things get hot or not. As I said the longer I use it the stiffer things gets which is why I was thinking something was passing where it shouldn't be the longer I use it. TY!

No 100% stock. The only thing other then PM I ever did was 2 batteries and a few cooling fans over 16 yrs.

about 1100 hrs. Located a new valve $600.00 but no rebuilding kit, ya can buy all the parts individually though.

Put it all back together, linkage. After 15 min or so of running the tractor there is resistance lowering the bucket and it don't stop unless I put the lever in the middle and also curling the bucket but that will stop when I let go of the lever. I am fighting pressure, the longer it runs the...

I disconnected all the linkage and the one piston does not come out all the way. I can pull it out easy enough with my fingers. Going to grease everything today and put all back together today and we'll see how it works out.
