For an LA481 loader:Thank you so much. My honey says he can put it in but he can't pick out the right part.
Thanks but you got to keep me honest. Sometimes I get things confused like in this thread where I looked up hydraulic flow for a M9000 that was the topic in a different thread. This young lady has an L3300Dan the detailed information you accurately provide is beyond trying to put a value on it. It's just not available, even going into a hydraulic store! I think everyone on this forum appreciates your help, even if we think we don't need it it will be a help at some time. You're a blessing!!
I hope the original poster keeps us updated on the outcome of their work,
So is the part still the same?Thanks but you got to keep me honest. Sometimes I get things confused like in this thread where I looked up hydraulic flow for a M9000 that was the topic in a different thread. This young lady has an L3300
I will blame the lapses on old age and oxygen deprivation....

He's not super confident but he works on his Jeep all the time and he says that he can do it. We were talking about marking the old hoses with a crayon or marker...would that help?For an LA481 loader:

Remove the old valve, bolt the new one on, hook up the hoses, and you are in business. Is your honey confident he understands which hoses go where?

By all means mark them but the part locations on the two valves are likely different. Four hoses going to cylinders are clear enough but he needs to identify and label:He's not super confident but he works on his Jeep all the time and he says that he can do it.

I will tell him...thank you so much.By all means mark them but the part locations on the two valves are likely different. Four hoses going to cylinders are clear enough but he needs to identify and label:
New valve has two P ports and two T ports. You can use whichever one is more convenient and install a steel plug in the unused one. The plastic plugs are just for shipping.
- Pump supply hose - goes to P port on new valve
- Tank return hose - goes to T port on new valve
- Power beyond hose - goes to power beyond sleeve in N port of new valve.

Post #22 has links to the vslve and power beyond sleeve. That combo will work on your tractor and loader.So is the part still the same?
I am confident. Enough so that if you get it and for some reason it wont workl I will buy it from you.ok. As long as you guys are sure, I'm ordering it today or tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help.
The less expensive valves you found are basically clones and may be fine but:Hydraulic Directional Control Valve Loader, Joystick, 2 Spool (summit-hydraulics.com)
I think this is the one you are telling me to get and it's on backorder...no given date when it will be in so I have to find something different
Here you go, probably the same valve, blt more money and you pay shipping.It's pouring out when the tractor is on...I can't use the tractor at all. Summit it on back order...so is the other place that you mentioned. It doesn't give the date for the back order (or I don't know how to find it if it does. Tractor Supply does not appear to have it so I am have to find one on either ebay or Amazon. If you don't think these are not good quality, then please lead me to one of good quality. Thank you.
Are you sure its the valve that's leaking. It would be unusual for a valve to leak like that. Any chance one of the hoses is bad or perhaps somebody damaged an oring on one of the fittings when you were working on it? That the sort of thing that pours.It's pouring out when the tractor is on...I can't use the tractor at all. Summit it on back order...so is the other place that you mentioned.
