L3350DT hydraulic problems

I will add to what @North Idaho Wolfman said. If the valve appears to be working the next step would be checking for flow and pressure at the valve. Thats where your problem is. Stsrt there and work back, not the other way around.

I apologize it is on the left of the steering wheel.

When the lever is to the left of the steering wheel, it is a hydraulic shuttle.
When the lever is on the left fender, it is a mechanical shuttle.

What happens if you turn the steering wheel or raise the loader when the tractor stops moving?

I am curious what you are looking for.

Just looking at the parts disgram it appears the shuttle valve is fed by a prority flow divider. The loader is on the excess circuit?

On these tractors when something is wrong / off it will cause you to lose either the loader / three point function and or PS function.

On my GST when the GST system has an flow issue you will lose PS use.
On a DT with a shuttle issue it will do the same things.

When it's a pump drive or suction issue you can lose both.

It's a simple diagnosis point on these systems to give you some path of what to check.

I understand all that. I am trying to understand what cycling the PS or loader tells you.

That tractor has a tandem pump. One section for PS and a implement/shuttle section with flow divider. Checking flow at in and out of the flow divider is real easy.
