    L245DT L1700 Loader Control Valve Rebuild

    Ok, gauge and fittings are in route. Will do it the right way. I am going to add the gauge inline (tee) with the loader up circuit at the exit of the control valve. I'll set the pressure relief valve by dead heading the loader up movement. Using the pressure gauge will ensure I don't over...

    L245DT L1700 Loader Control Valve Rebuild

    I do not have a pressure gauge setup but I do agree it would be the best way to set the relief valve. Here is what I am thinking in lieu of using a pressure gauge... Without the tractor running and pressure relieved in the system, start with the relief valve about a 1/4-1/2 turn in after...

    L245DT L1700 Loader Control Valve Rebuild

    Thanks Milo. I have these. I was hoping for something with more detail, i.e. this does not show the pressure relief valve components. Anyway, I think I got it figured out. I was just sold the wrong O-ring kit. It wasn't even close. I'll try to get the corrected Monday. I did find that the...

    L245DT L1700 Loader Control Valve Rebuild

    Yeah, no o-rings on the spools (verified) but there is at least one per spool per end in the valve body. The diagram I do have, which is pretty poor, shows them. Besides it makes sense to keep the UDT from leaking out the ends of the valve assembly. I will be finishing cleaning and inspecting...

    L245DT L1700 Loader Control Valve Rebuild

    Thanks Milo. Does anyone have a cross section illustration or a good exploded view of this control valve that they would be willing to share? I need to see just where all the O-rings go. The kit I just picked up has many more O-rings than the parts catalog shows. Maybe they are internal or...

    L245DT L1700 Loader Control Valve Rebuild

    I'll try playing with the three point and see if that helps. As for the suction screen, it's probably time to clean that again. Question... When cleaning the screen, will the entire transmission case contents (UDT) drain or just what's in the screen well? Thanks.

    L245DT L1700 Loader Control Valve Rebuild

    The issue I am having is the loader will barely lift it's own weight. Loader down and bucket roll up/down work fine. Through playing with it I found that if I roll the bucket up until it stops and hold the lever in the roll up position while lifting the loader, it lifts fine. I was thinking...
