    FEL LA481 Control valve - Seal replacement worth a shot?

    If we are saying top right is 3 and bottom right is 4, yes. (sorry I just noticed you labeled them in your picture. Thanks!) So I swapped, 1 with 3 and 2 with 4 - lift worked but I could not lower the bucket, I think the bucket still dumped as well(on it's own). Then I put everything back...

    FEL LA481 Control valve - Seal replacement worth a shot?

    Looking closer at it and it appears that the quick disconnects are setup in a way that I am unable to swap them. One hose has it on the hose the other has it on the box. The third in inline.

I can dump it if i want and curl it back, it just wont stay. Do I need to swap hose's in multiple locations when moving them around on...

    FEL LA481 Control valve - Seal replacement worth a shot?

    I should note for clarification that I swapped the boom and bucket lines around first. So, top left for top right, and bottom left for bottom right. This caused the boom to only lift. I had to loosen the bottom line to bleed fluid, and then it slowly lowered. I went back to each line in its...

    FEL LA481 Control valve - Seal replacement worth a shot?

    Hello, I have a FEL that won't hold it's tilt. When I fully curl the bucket back, it will slowly start to dump. Once it gets past a certain point it will dump rapidly. I think I have narrowed it down to a control valve(B00101) and not a cylinder issue. After swapping the hoses around on the...
