Humpolec loader hydraulics.

[Reg]

I thought I knew this (a decade ago).
Who is the builder of the hydraulics for the loader on my ~2005/2006 Century Humpolec loader ?

I don't know if I need a valve re-build, replacement, or simple cable adjustment ...
I have lost the float function - and that is SO valuable for back dragging and snow shoving.
I can find float once in a while, but I can't "set" it and leave it locked in.
I used to be able to also slowly pull the bucket out of dump while back dragging to change the angle while floated to feather out the dragged material.

Any hints/tips would be much appreciated - yes, I have oil in it and I have bled air out<grin>

The valve body should have the manufacturer's name cast into it somewhere. It may be in a hard to see spot.

If you have a remote joystick with cables to the valve it could well be a cable adjustment. But also sometimes the float detent in the valve goes bad. It should be accessible without disassembing the whole valve.

Seems I posted this a long time ago - about 6 years.

It hasn't bothered me much, in fact I have got so used to working around it that I had forgotten my previous posts on it.
I probably developed a little skill to compensate for it ?

Anyway, I'll probably loosen up the lock nuts and clamping screws, do the cable adjustment and see if that works.
If not I'll take the valve apart and see whats up with the detent mechanism in the "tall hat".

Today my open bucket close bucket joy stick control has stopped working. Upon investigation I find the cable running from the joy stick to the valve body has broken. It looks some type of cast metal ie: or something. It is cracked right where it connects to the valve body. This is the Humpalec C50 FEL would this cable connector be universal or perhaps easily found or do I need the whole cable assembly? Does anyone know a vendor who might sell parts or provide support on this Czech FEL?

I would contact Foskett tractors in Woodstock, CT or Valenti tractors in Troy NH, but I am in Mass which is close enough to drive to either one if I had to.

Cables and their connector ends tend to be brand specific, although as we all know Kukje has made small tractors with the John Deere paint and emblem scheme, so if you take the broken part to a JD parts counter they may be able to match it up.

There is a tractor breaker somewhere on the web, probably worth searching for.
