Do you have a joystick valve for your loader, or a valve with two levers?
How old is the tractor?
On the bottom of the valve, do you see a cap like device with two screws.
This joystick valve from Prince, is just an example of what a float assembly might look like. There are some little balls that drop in a groove when you are in float. If they are rusty or dirt is blocking the float action, you will need to inspect, clean and lube.
Look on page 7

Hi J J
Not sure of the brand of the valve.
I looked at the link and my valve does not have the extra levers.
I will try to get some useable pictures of it to post.
Old Gray market 80s 1500d.
:thumbsup:Loader probably put on in Korea or Vietnam.Just guessing.
Thanks Again.

In the top picture, it looks like you have a bolt miss. Is it? That might not let the valve work right.

Have you removed the caps on the lift spool to check the condition of the parts under the caps.
The picture I posted above, is an example of a detent assembly. If you remove the cap, be careful as springs and steel balls may spring out. have a magnet close by or a rag over the cap when removing.
You may not have a float, but most loader valves do.
I also noticed a valve body bolt missing. Sometimes, loose bolts or over tighten bolts will cause a valve not to work correctly.

I did a bit of research on my Vteks loader valve that might help. Mine had the marking BLB - a company out of itally with a small distributor in the US. I sent pictures of my valve to this distributor who contacted Itally and researched it for me. My loader valve did not have float or Power beyond. The fix was about $300 for a new valve...so I am waiting until I REALLY need it. BTW, my valve model was a bm40
Here is a link to some of the BLB valves in case they look like yours.

Well I was worried about the screw missing in the Valve cover.
I took the boot off and took a few pictures.
I don't know why the hole is empty but there is nothing for a screw to thread into.
See attached pics

The missing bolt I was talking about is on the valve body.
Post # 14 left side. There is a bolt and nut on the right side.
Those two holes on the top plate with the lever attached, is probably for use if the other holes get worn out.
