Massey Ferguson 245 hydraulics issue

   / Massey Ferguson 245 hydraulics issue #21  
The PDF I linked has the info for part #'s, starts on about page 12 - page 14 has the RCMA (as in "Adjustable") relief valve, same page has part#'s for the individual components - if there's an XXX in the #, I'm pretty sure you'd need to specify range but I don't know how that works -

You might try writing all the part descriptions and #'s you know you'll need, then start with Gresen - there's also some stuff on ebay

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...esc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=gresen+relief+valve+V11

But I didn't see any exact # matches.
Northern tool used to be Northern hydraulics IIRC, might see if they can be any help.
Surplus center has quite a bit of hydraulic parts, basically you'll probably need to dust off your "Google-Fu" and follow any promising links. From what I saw in a brief search, it may turn out to be cheaper to just start over with a new loader valve. Hopefully not, but you never know til you try.

which ever way you end up going, I think you found out how NOT to work on this stuff (as in, going in "blind" instead of having the relevant info...)

Don't worry, I'm not giving up just yet - just got bedtime comin' up... Steve

Oh, just in case you're new to torque wrenches, do NOT think that one rated for 25 to 150 will be OK for a fastener that wants 14 ft lbs - there's a REASON that lower number is listed, I found out the hard way back in 1964 when I thought my 10-150# Proto wrench could torque the 7 lb. pan bolts on a small block chevy :eek: (snik, snik, DAAAANNNGG...)
I did, however, get more experience because of that boo-boo - I got to learn how to use an easy-out :rolleyes: - later...

After doing some checking it will cost me roughly $150 to purchase the parts that I know for certain I will need to rebuild my old Gresen valve and it will take me 30 days to receive parts or possibly longer. I can purchase the following control valve tomorrow from my local tractor Supply if I knew for certain it would work.

Chief Directional Control Valve (RLD Series), 25 GPM, 2 Spool, 3 PSI at Tractor Supply Co.

Can you please offer some guidance in this area???

The valve features are fine but it is far too big with a flow rating of 25 gpm.

A control valve is one instance where bigger is not better. What happens is that you will not have the fine control over your loader that is necessary for proper operation.

Even 15 gpm, although still too big, will be much better.

Here is a 10 GPM for $180ish at Surplus Center: 2 Spool 1 GPM Chief 22957 Joystick Loader Control Valve w/float | Chief | Brands | www.surpluscenter.com
They will also have all the adapters needed to hook it to your existing hoses.
