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...

I know this is an old thread but I have been dealing with this as well. I bought a valve off ebay only to find out the hoses come out the back and that is the worst place for them. Most small tractors that I have seen use valves that have fittings that point forward. However, these forward...

I did some more research. When you install a front end loader (FEL) the flow from the pump to the rear 3 pt hitch is diverted to the loader valve and you have to re-establish that flow by running out of the power beyond port to the other side of the flow diversion. Looked at my Kubota manual and...

Ok, I ended up buying the Chief 3 spool off ebay. I hope I made the right decision. I was confused about how the hoses connect. On my Mahindra they show a hose hooked to the power beyond back to the junction block. I think when you connect the new loader valve, that takes the flow from the three...

Does that little lever go left and right or front and back?

That photos is showing all of them on the same block like the Chief. I thought you said the older one was a 2 spool and a separate 1 spool but the photo looks like the Chief. Where are you buying these valves?

The photo is of the Chief Valve? How come you have it mounted horizontally in stead of vertically like most joy sticks. Can you operate that aux lever without taking you hand off the main joy stick? Does the chief valve have a boom float position?

I just bought an almost complete loader for my Mahindra 3016. It is an ML115 loader and it needs the loader valve and hoses and fittings. I have been looking and I can get a decent 10GPM flow 2 spool valve for around $200. I will probably put a grapple on it at some point and it seems like it...

I just bought a 3016 and I am trying to get up to speed on stuff. It is a shuttle shift, 4wd with no loader 500 hrs. I would like to see if I can find an ML115 loader for it but the local dealer is dragging their feet on getting me price and availability. I also don't have a manual for it...

I am looking for a Mahindra owners manual and potentially a service manual. Are there any online download sights that are virus free and safe to download from? You would think Mahindra would at least have owner's manuals online. Just bought a 2013 3016 and wanted to learn basic operating...

Well I did a more detailed inspection of the tractor today and it has been neglected to some extent. There is a transmission fluid leak coming out of the clutch housing drain plug. The bolt with the hole in the middle that is supposed to have a split pin in it. It is dripping enough that in a...

I was thinking a back hoe attachment would be a handy thing to have. I was wondering what options there are for the Kubota L3430. I know Woods makes some affordable units. A Kubota one would cost more than a new tractor. I was thinking it would be good for making a trench for utilities leading...

I am in the process of buying a used Kubot L3430 with around 2100 hrs on it. The owner says he never changed the transmission fluid in it. The manual says to change every 400 hrs and I am wondering if it needs to be changed. This is about a $200 process to do. It takes 11gal of Super UDT. Which...

I am in the process of buying a 44 acre farm. The current owner has a Kubota L3430 with about 2000 hrs on it. I have a B7800 that has 300 hrs on it. I have a loader and a box blade and a 6 ft belly mower for the B7800. The L3430 has a loader, and bush hog. I think 6ft wide, also hay spike, and...
