OK Gang,
Owned my BX18 for about 10+ years, been a random LURKER on here for a number of years when the site would pop up on doing a Google search for various info. BUT - now that I "OFFICIALLY" joined I can't find any info on the control valve on my BX18 for my LA211 front loader. Yeah, I KNOW it's not really a TRACTOR
but it's all I can afford.
I believe it's taken a dump on me BUT I will NOT spend $1050 to replace it - YET... I can't even find the seal "Rebuild kit" I previously found - and I even remember it showed 2 kits at $100 plus.
When the front loader is unhooked/removed the hydraulics all work just fine. When the FEL is mounted and hooked up she will work BUT when I use it to "LIFT" it seems that there is a blockage somewhere and won't let the hydraulic fluid return to the reserve tank and just starts SPEWING out of both 75538-63010 CYLINDER's at the rearward facing seals.
ANYBODY out there got some wisdom they'd be willing to share with me about troubleshooting this little hydraulic Gem? I've remember seeing a few articles just looking around - but no one came up with a definitive aftermarket replacement for a REASONABLE cost. ANYBODY get one from someone they can recommend?
ANY and ALL HELP is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
