I have no fluid going to the loader valve when valve is switched to it. the 3 point is operating when switched to that. The suction filter was recently cleaned as it was caked up. do I possibly have a clog in the valve? how easy is it to take apart and clean?
Thank you for any info that can help

How did you determine there is no fluid going to the loader? Do you have cc quick connects on the loader hoses?

Pictures would be helpful.

I can take pictures in a little while
I also opened a line to the bucket piston to see if fluid was going through and nothing

Fluid only fliws when the cintril valvd is operated. Did you operate the valve?

What i am suggesting is one or more of the quick couplers is not fully connected or has stopped working.

Eliminate the quick coupler on the feed to the loader and check again.

Post a picture of your valve. Most are nothing more than a ball valve and nothing to clog up. Some are needle valves. I think it is more likely you are not getting it to open

That valve switches the flow from 3 point to bucket
Have you used thst valve before?

I believe I had that same valve on a B7200. It was not a diverter. Flow went into the 3pt cylinder and then out to the implement. The 3pt lever had to be locked in the full up position to use the aux port and the lever guide had a notch for that purpose.
