BOBCAT 753 bucket leveling valve

[jayorf]

Recent purchase of a bobcat 753, the bucket leveling valve is leaking bad and the condition is really bad(stalling, pitting) that i afraid to even touch it. However, bobcat has no replacement available. Any ideas on aftermarket search? Can you bypass this function and tie hydraulic hoses together? I think it would be impossible to weld on it. Need some help. Pictures to follow

I do not see any pics, but yes you could delete the buckets positioning valve.

You should be able to compare the parts schematics with and without the positioning valve.

Here is a link to the parts catalog:

Pretty much what brdgbldr said, you might have to connect some tube lines with hydraulic hoses when you take that valve out.

So I have a few people suggest getting a generic valve body form the hydraulic shop and substitute for the leaking valve body. Has anyone here done such a thing. The part form bobcat is not available.

Might be a lot of adjustments to be done.
