Update, the valve has worked well but there is an oil leak at the top threads of the boom float spool. Replaced O-rings no go. The threads at the top of the spool are leaking. Looking for something that will seal the top threads. I have some blue locktight.

Ok, looks like I am going to go with the standard 45" wide configuration and I will only gain an inch of thickness. I will have to start from zero to narrow it down.

The problem is I will have to have a larger stand off distance from the loader arms to the bucket if I make mine SSQA compliant. I can make a narrow version which is quite common, I am finding out, but it won't fit my Kubota bucket. So if I go with the narrow version, I will have to use the...

Ok here is the problem. It looks like Mahindra used a norrowed down version of the SSQA or a BASTARD configuration in order to get a low profile with the levers between the locking pin mechanism as opposed to underneath them. So they have wacked about 2 inches off each side and used the inner...

I am trying to convert my Mahindra 3016 from pin on to SSQA. I bought some starter plates off Amazon. I want my levers to not be to no be between the mounting ears but if I stay at the standard SSQA spacing, I don't see a way around it. Mahindra must be using a narrower bastard spacing in order...

Trying to figure out something about skid steer quick attach mounting plates. There are two sets of holes in the bottom of the bucket side attach plate. Why is this? I have a kubota bucket that only has the outer set of holes. I am in the process of trying to make a skid steer adapter plate for...

Ok well, I went forward with the 9 o-clock pattern with the ports turned inward. This worked out ok and I redesigned the mounts. It worked fine but the curl spool was not working right. It would not stay centered and the bucket was stuck in curl up. Took the valve off and the screw that holds...

After having thought about this. I think all that needs to be done is to swap spools. So the first and second spools would need their guts swapped out. The float spool is longer and there is a longer section at the bottom that would need to be swapped as well. This is assuming all the castings...

The dealer sent me a link to a manual.

I found this on my own last night and it was very helpful.

Ok Baily Does not have a different top block to change this out and says the the two positions that my valve has are all there are. They don't even spec out the pattern direction on their web sight. The only company that gives a rats A about this is Brand Hydraulic. If you have a...

Yes I rotated the block at the top and it rotates the pattern clockwise 90 degrees. I would like to have the block that would reverse is 180 degrees but I may have to live with what I have. Now the ports are facing to the left. It is not optimum but at least 7-9 hoses won't be dangling at my feet.

This the way I want it to be but if mounted this way the loader functions are reversed. So this would have to be flipped 180 degrees with the ports facing backwards to work. If this valve did not have a float function then you could just flip the hoses. I did find a way to flip it 90 degrees so...

Another issue I encountered with the Chief valve that I ordered from ebay is that the valve is backwards. That means that the hoses have to come out the back of the unit instead of out of the front which is the way that I have seen it on most tractors. This is a royal pain especially since many...
