JD 146 Loader Control Valve

[Tx Jim]

Ditto on needing new valve.

I would check cable adjustment and make sure it is at center.

Yea, thats what I think. Just wondering if anyone had already tracked down a replacement that works, appreciate any help or knowledge. JBF5

I thought about that possibility also, Leejohn. Thanks

The loader works fine. It only moves while "resting."

He has already said this.

Do you mean resting as in engine off or engine on when you think the valve spool is in neutral.

So, if the cables were the cause, then the loader would lift of descend on it's own while operating.

It appears he has some leakage.

Just for the heck of it, remove the cables after raising loader and see if it stays up.

When the engine is on or off. While running, I'm constantly having to "re-adjust" to try to keep it at the same position. It's involves one spool only. If I change the hoses from one spool to the other at the control valve- the cylinder controlled by that spool begins to creep and have the same problem. I'm fairly convinced the spool/valve has probably worn out and leaking.
