Farmhand F-10(?) loader hydraulic problem

Posted by SoDak man on December 03, 2005 at 20:04:44 from (64.33.240.34):

I was told to find Allan in Ne for this Farmhand problem. F-10 loader bucket drops on it's own, slowly. Had bucket cylinder refurbished(O-rings, seals, etc.) Bucket still dropped. Took control cylinder in. Same things(O-rings, seals replaced, spool polished), they couldn't test or replace anything else due to obsolete parts. Have replaced certain hoses and swapped load and bucket connections to test but no result.
I'm not sure what kind of valve I have. I've seen two valve names mentioned here, Gresen or Gensen. There are numbers on the control area. I can get them if need be. This loader is probably 40yrs old with all original parts except the pump on the PTO. Let me describe what it looks like. It's basically a single valve, single control mechanism.(It does have a small second lever to dump bucket---more on that later)
Main lever- Can be turned forward and back
Lever forward-Loader up
Lever back-bucket up
Lever(valve) pulled out-loader down
Lever(valve) pushed in-bucket dumped
--Regarding the second lever(dumps bucket). Don't know why it's there. Big lever runs everything anyway. Gonna try eliminating small lever.
Hydraulic repair shop told me today that they couldn't test this lever/valve piece. Parts would be obsolete if they tried to rebuild.
I guess at this point I'd just like to know it's un-repairable before I plunk down money on a new two valver. More thoughts, questions welcomed.
