Long time lurker, first post......
Just for clarity: This is the control valve that the left drive handle is connected to.
The front drive pump control valve is leaking oil and there appears to be some "slop" somewhere in the control lever/control valve assembly I need to diagnose yet.
I would prefer to do this repair in the machine if possible and it appears I can, but I'm not a skid steer mechanic.
Can I remove the control valve and replace the o-rings and any other damaged parts without removing the pump from the machine?
Do I need to drain the hydraulic fluid from the machine before I pull the control valve or will I just lose some of the fluid in the pump when I pull the valve?
Thank You in advance!!
