I hope I am using the correct term above. I have an '83 Ford 1700 with 770 loader and the 2-lever control for raising/lowering bucket as well as rolling the back forward/back. In my manual it says this part # is DV23FATS005 or 23FATS2P4KA. The lever that controls the roll of the bucket has been acting up over the last year, where I'll be driving along - not touching lever(s) and it will start to 'engage', rolling the bucket (up I think). I'd frequently have to push the lever to get it to stop. I finally tied a bungy cord around it to keep it in place.
I'd prefer to not swap out the entire valve setup as I'm told I can rebuild it. Has anyone done this? How difficult is it?
It seems like a perfect time to take the valve off and rebuild/repair as I'm putting on all new hydro lines/hoses; as well as a bunch of other maintenance items. Just want to keep this great machine running well.
Thanks in advance!!!
