JD 5525 Rockshaft Valve Adjustment ????'s

[rutwad]

On a JD 5525 MFWD, cab, 24f/24r, does anyone know where the valve is that adjusts the hydraulic flow to the rockshafts? Not the control inside the cab, but the one under the cab. How hard is it to access and adjust?

Looks like I posted in the wrong place. Moderators, could you move to JD Owning/Operating.

Thanks

I have a 5425. It has a fender mounted lift lever, at the rear there is a flip up cover.
Under that cover are some adjustment knobs for lift rate, lower rate, and also there is a float knob there as well.
If yours has the adjustment feature, it will be there...

Hope this helps...

Actually, the descent got terribly slow so it went to the dealer. The dealer removed the rear glass to access the valve which controls the hydraulic flow. That along with spreading the tires came to over $500 just for labor!

Ouch, did they give you fair warning???

Not at all! Plus they charged for steam cleaning (which there is NO evidence of them doing), AND THEY CHARGED TAX ON STEAM CLEANING!!!

So to adjust the valve, spread the tires, and add water to the rear tires came to $800 .

I would ask for a full estimate for repairs and no repairs allowed without my full consent. I tell the service manager to call me if it goes over the estimated amount.
