3300su model tractor. My loader valve for the bucket failed. The up and down side worked fine but the bucket tip portion started acting up and getting harder and harder to function properly. I hoped it was the linkage but not the case. The front valve moved freely with all the linkage removed but the rear valve was stuck big time. I ordered a new one as the tractor is out of warranty. 1100 bones for one of these items and I see there is a part number change. Anyone else have one of these fail or am I just the lucky fluke on this item?

Never a problem with mine. Before I'd buy new I'd give the valve to a local shop to have it overhauled - it cannot be anywhere close to that price!!!
I have a different loader but I am having trouble with mine also. Plus there are at least three threads about loader problems.

Remove valve and take to local industrial hydraulic rebuild shop. Save some serious money.
If you've got one valve in a bank misbehaving, I'll bet the overhaul cost won't be much more to do the entire assembly once the thing is on the bench.
