I removed this flow valve out of my 1964 ford backhoe, and looking at the parts book, it should have two. It is missing from my boom down, which does slam, and this one is from my crowd cylinder. Maybe I’m not calling it the right name, but I’d be looking for it in an sae 10 o ring boss fitting

I took some more measurements- hopefully this makes more sense. I also ordered some new hoses and adapters, I hope to get them in soon and try learning more

I may have to try to get the pin out, or find a new one

Is changing the pins a huge difference? I only ask because mine is very much seized, and beating it and using a puller will not budge the pin more than a few inches. The bushing started coming out with it. That may be a project for another time. I did go out and practice a bit, I can see how...

Thanks everyone! I have some more things to go off of, but to answer a few of the questions- I have a gauge on the side of the valve, in the test port that the book recommends using to test pressure. I am able to get the 2000 PSI when the cylinders bottom out or have stress against them (like...

It’s a 1964 ford 4000 (4140) with the 20 gpm front hydraulic pump. New loader valve with power beyond to the hoe. Ford 712 loader and 723 hoe

I really appreciate the help and the troubleshooting. I switched lines around just to test the control valves (I have the test manuals and they suggest it and it’s easy enough) and then took a line off the cylinder. I did not get what I thought I would, a little if any fluid really came out. It...

I figured a new thread would gather more interest- I have my 1964 ford 4000 fel and backhoe, and am having a weak bucket curl on the backhoe. I put a gauge on the test port and am able to get 2000 psi (relief setting). I can put the outriggers down and lift the rear of the tractor until the...

I was able to get my gauge set up. I am able to hit the 2000 psi relief setting with the controls bottomed out, so I’m thinking that the relief is operating correctly. My next step is to remove one of the lines to the cylinder and checking the pressure and seeing if the cylinder is leaking...

i got this from baldwin, but im not sure what it really means in terms of restrictions. it seems like it would be okay?

I ordered a gauge, so hopefully I can get some numbers here. Good to know about the relief, I got the valve from surplus center so I am hoping I just need to do a simple adjustment of it. I am a little concerned because the filter seems to be for engine oil.. no mention of hydraulic fluid...

I will have to play around more and feel the hoses. The loader valve is brand new with power beyond. I have not tried to lift a full bucket of dirt yet, but I will try that. The hoe operates at a good speed moving, but seems weak in any digging action. I do need to get a gauge and see what I’m...

I have a loader and backhoe on my 4140 with a filter system. It has a bt216 filter, and I am wondering if the is a good filter to have? It seems small, but I can't locate specs on it. It is Tee'd into the return lines for the loader valve and the backhoe return line. My pump should put out...

Thanks everyone. I ended up ordering a valve and power beyond on surplus. As far as the pump, I took it to a shop and they check it out and said it looked decent. Little worn but should be fine. I can get it to flow at 16 gpm at like 1600 psi, 2000 is the relief pressure but I was using a plug...

Thank you, I will check into them. The mounting is okay, I can make something to work, I know I’ll be either replacing or adapting lines already. Is that enough information, I am confused about the spring detent stuff. I think I want them to center? And both be 4 way? As far as the pump, yes...
