L245DT Hydraulic Problem

[kenan]

JJ,
I apologize for the delay. I have been away from e-mail.

Yes, the valve is what I meant.

I am going to buy one with the P B feature - like the one you sent me the link too.

Thank you again for helping me solve this problem.

Before you order a new valve, send me pictures of your current valve with a clear view of all sides to my email.

Should you order a new valve, you can make up a valve mount for the old joystick valve and have a nice set of remotes on the rear of the tractor, for T-N-T maybe or some other attachment.

Fender might be a good place to mount the valve.

JJ,
I believe the photos are attached. This is the first time I have done an attachment in this forum.

Thank you,

Thanks.

In the first picture, the large hex nut could be your PB out port. Can you take a wire brush and clean off that end of the valve and see if there are any markings, like PB, or PBY.

I see 7 hoses connected, but the large hex nut is in the right place for PB OUT.

The brand name of the valve if you can read it.

You are going to need some hoses now or in the near future.

I did take the hex nut out in the first picture. It is just an open cavity to both hoses connected into this block. The hex nut on the opposite side is open to the Pressure In hose. I cannot find a brand name on the valves.
I found out that this valve setup was purchased through Northern Hydraulics.
From my research on their web site, it appears this block did not come with a PB option and a PB option cannot be added to it.

The Kubota in the picture is the tractor I took the FEL off of. My tractor is in much better shape. I have already replaced all hydraulic hoses and rebuilt the cylinders.
Everything except the bucket & main boom has been sandblasted, zinc plated, and powder coated (I have some generous friends)!

Everything is working great except the PB option is missing. Thanks to you I now understand how it is supposed to work. I think my only way out is to buy a valve body with the PB option.

The weather has been nasty here, when it clears up I will take a picture of the tractor as it is now and send it to you. I still have to get the boom painted - I just could not wait any longer to play with it!
