BX23 vs BX22 What is the Difference?

Junk:

I don't want to beat this to death, but when I said that I had the older style of valve, I ment that is is not as "pretty" as the BX23 four-way valve.

My valve STAYS on the tractor when the FEL comes off. I have either four or five Parker series 60 style of couplers that attach to the FEL. I don't have to remove the valve from the FEL and reattact it to the tractor to use the stick.

I hade the BX2751 quick hitch and the hoses hook directly to to it for the Hydro cylinder operation. (Only have the frame. Mrs. KeyBal figured out I was about to buy more attachments and put her size 18 foot down)

Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't want to beat this to death either, but I sure would appreciate a picture of what you have. I am totally confused by your description. Your last description sounds like it is a BX23 style loader. I am wondering if when they made the change for you, that they might have changed the loader and the valve to give you the 4 way valve, with a later style tractor. I looked into purchasing the new design valve, but the cost was out of sight.... about $1200 from what I remember.
Does your loader valve look like this picture? This is the new design valve that stays on the tractor when you take the loader off.

I was trying to figure out a diplomatic way out of this, but there isn't any. I was 100% wrong.

I went to the office Saturday to get the digital camera, came home and started taking pictures of the FEL valve from about a dozen different angles.

I then decided to take the FEL off and show you how the valve stayed on the tractor, until it came off with the FEL. At that point, it was AW s***, Junk was right.

Since it has been at least a year since I took the FEL off, I didn't remember that I had to remove the valve assembly from the FEL and remount to the tractor to use the other attachments.

I'm sorry. I should have checked before I shoot off my fingers!

That is OK...... it isn't a matter of being right or wrong, but just educating ourselves as to what we have and what is out there. One thing that I can tell you for certain, crow needs a good dose of salt and pepper to be tasty enough to eat much of it. I know from experience. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
