Loader Valve Recommendations?

Thanks Dave, I found a technique that worked on one. Now if I can duplicate it 2 more times.

I am drilling the center out to make a deeper seat for this extractor. I had to grind the tip of the extractor to get a tight fit then I use the trusty old hammer and drove the extractor till it bottomed out. If it worked once surely it will work two more times? Let's hope!

Success!! Thanks to ACE hardware for having the perfect replacement Stainless Steel screw, the valve will now work in the proper direction! The new screws are a little longer that fit perfect. They bottom out at the same time they snug the plate up. No Locktite needed! :cool2:

I used Kubota orange on the valve that will be mounted on my Kioti. Think I will get sued? :laughing:

The rush is on getting the tractor ready!

Hurricane Michael came on shore today in Mexico Beach Florida. My 84 year old father-in-law lives a couple of blocks off of the beach there. He lived in a single wide trailer house built in the 70's. Last anyone heard from him was last night and he told his daughters he was going to stay.

We will be heading down as soon as we can and the plan is to take the tractor and all the stuff to survive with so we can clean up. We have contacted some of the folks we know there and they are going to check on things for us and send pictures so I know what implements I will need.

I am sure it will be a mess!

Thanks guys very much! No update except we hear everything in that area is damaged. Still no word from FIL.

We made it home. I was unable to take the tractor this trip as I did not have anyone to pull the other trailer. My dad was going to but just was not up to the trip. I most likely need to go back with it later to get the trees down. Some firemen said they will try to get to them once everything settles down.

On another note, the Walvoil valve is everything I hoped for!! Great feathering and load checks work great! The valve is smooth and every spool works well!

I can recommend this valve to anyone looking for a small 12 GPM 3 spool loader valve! It is a pain however, getting someone to sell you one and that will get it correct! If anyone wants to know more about it I will be glad to help.

K5,
Sure glad the valve was worth all your time and trouble.

Thanks Brother for all your help! The Youli valve was driving me insane! I am not much on appearance but fictionality is very important to me. The Walvoil valve is a quality small monoblock. It is apparent they take pride in these units. It still had oil in it from their testing before shipping. Worth every penny!
