rrlund - more on valve body

Of the 10 tractors I have, 5 are without a cab and 5 with. One is a 2-105 with a cab that is getting a set of rebuilt valves this spring. I know there are at least two lines hooked to this block that will
need to be removed or moved out of the way, one to the back and one to the front. This may be the toughest part of the job. When installing I used two 3/8 bolts with the heads cut off to keep the valve
bodies in place. The valve bodies also have steel rings in them in addition to the o-rings. These tend to fall out during disassembly. I didn't use a stud to start the inside block but the lines have to be
out the way. Last point is cleanliness. I once had the outside valve body blow out on a 2255 on a potato harvester. Decided to replace it right there in the field. As hard as I tried to keep it clean, a
small grain of sand got in and it still leaked. At least the leak was nominal and we continued to harvest. I may have made some special wrenches to get in to loosen and tighten the lines. You know, cut
shorter or bent a certain way :)
 
Thanks for the info Mike. Sounds like a job that'd better wait until a warm day. I appreciate the tip on the headless bolts,that should simplify things by half. I'll get all the parts next time I'm at the dealer so I have them here for when the mood strikes me. I think this is one of those jobs that I'd better just get at and do and not overthink it.
