This is a follow up to a lengthy thread that I posted before (https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=1370640&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)
Based on some suggestions that the unloader valve was stuck, I removed it. After removing, I re-inserted and drove back out numerous times, each time rotating the valve slightly just to check that it doesn't bind up in any way. I did not remove the bushing.
My main questions is: should there be a "flat area" as shown in the picture. There are three of these evenly spaced around the circumference. Just curious what the purpose of this would be.
My hope is that the unloader valve was stuck or partially stuck and that after re-assembly, I won't have the issue of having to remove the acorn nut and pushing in and out on the back pressure valve several times before the hydraulics start working.
