I verified that the thread is 14mm - 1.5 with a bolt at a hardware store, purchased a nut, and threaded the nut back and forth until the threads smoothed out. They have to have really clean threads, so that the castle nut goes on smoothly. Otherwise, the tapered stud spins in the taper while...

Hello, I have a Kubota L4300DT that I damaged the tie rod threads while removing them to replace the seal on the front axle housing. I removed the castle nut and reversed it, placing it flush with the stud end, and then I whacked it with a hammer. Well, it damaged the threads anyway. If I...

I finally had some time today to remove those washers I placed in the Pressure Relief Valve. I had to purchase a crowsfoot set with a 7/8" to remove the inlet hose without having to remove the FEL valve from the pedestal. Then I tested the pressure and found it to be 2,200 psi. So, I placed...

First of all thank you to Russell, Dan, and Wolfman. Second, I gave you guys all the details of how I got into this issue. When I said, I installed a remote valve a few years ago, that should be enough to suggest that I know how the hoses go. Could a person inadvertently cross a pair of...

Eiiigh!!! 🤦‍♂️ I already determined that the outlet hose from the hydraulic block from the pump had a "good stream". I also installed the gauge at the end of this hose. It's in one of my photos, where I removed the hose from the inlet to the FEL valve. That test maxed out the pressure...

I said, "I held the outlet hose into a bucket, and started the tractor. It made a pretty strong stream". ...and it also maxed out the pressure gauge briefly. The flow out the FEL valve PB hose was less than that, and it stops when I move the control stick down. ...except the loader does not...

Ok, I finally got enough fluid filtered through a cloth to fill the level to the sight glass. I routed a hose from the loader valve PB to a container, and started the tractor. There was a little bit of flow. Then when I moved the loader valve control stick down to raise the loader, the flow...

Dan, as I'm following you all's advice, I'm getting you want me to get pressure readings from the FEL valve PB and remote valve PB. I'll get those pressures later this morning. Thanks for the explanation about how the reverse flow can be happening. Yes, it's only with the "control...

This particular HUSCO 9210 Loader control valve (LB552) does not have a pressure relief valve. It has a plug in the port where a PRV would be for a different model of loader. Dan, you're correct. With the "control screw" horizontal there seems to be back flow through the FEL valve. Pressure...

I used my air compressor with a rubber tip to put about 35 psi on the outlet hose from the hydraulic block. If it was somehow flowing in reverse before, I wanted to try to switch that. I also hooked up one of my old hoses to the FEL valve inlet port to try to better capture any oil that would...

In my photos: Red = outlet, pressure. 3/B, Hose 6, FEL inlet Green = inlet, Power Beyond. 1/C, Hose 5, FEL PB stock, Remote PB current Md. Blue = FEL Tank. 4/D, Hose 7, FEL outlet stock Lt. Blue = Remote Tank. 4/D, Remote outlet current Numbers, letters, and hoses are from the LB552...

I'm not seeing what you believe is incorrect. It seems that you've stated what I have in just a different manner than what I did. If I followed your hose connections perfectly, there wouldn't be a hose swap. Please be more specific as to where my mistake is. I believe that you are correct...

My fitting arrived today, and I affixed it to the end of the hose from the outlet of the hydraulic block (inlet of the loader valve). When I started the tractor there was no pressure, but a lot of fluid came out of the inlet port of the loader valve. I realized I need to place the hydraulic...

Discount Hydraulic Hose, that has been my go to hydraulic website, and their Thread ID Guide is helpful. For a few fittings, I don't mind ordering from them, but for just one fitting a guy can't beat free shipping. In this case, the quick delivery would have out weighed the cost. ...hind sight...

1 to 3 day shipping on the gauge isn't the issue. It's the fitting to adapt the end of the hose to the gauge. I know, there's "kits" out there with quick disconnect couplers. I wanted to test without the FEL control valve. I found a 1/2" male JIC to 1/4" female NPT on Amazon, but its ETA was...
