L2500dt hydraulic valve

[Wideopen38]

I have a Kubota l2500dt with a loader lb400. The valve body has a plate on it with 1625-ar i can fine much on it. The problem is when I let the valve control handle go the valve is so loose it slide down in the the valve body it moves the bucket or arms on it's on. I don't know if I need to rebuild it or replace the hole thing. Can someone please give me some information about what I should do or something on that part number thanks, new to page and hydraulics.

Just called the dealership $1,700 to replace the control valve body assembly yikes! It's a 2 spool any help would be great.

The Bad news and Good news of it.

BAD:
For the valve that you currently have, there are no longer rebuild kits available, and when they were they ran $300+ each and you needed 2 of them.

Good:
You can replace the valve at a fraction of that cost and you will get a completely new valve.

Not sure on your current hose fittings but you can get adapters if they don't fit the new valve.

Does it matter that I have 2 joysticks and I have a float for the bucket to.

You have 2 levers not a joystick, a joystick combines both levers, (actions (valves)) into one lever, a joystick.

Yes you will still have float in the loader valve with the Joystick valve.

If you do prefer to stay with the old style of two lever valve:
