Bypass Bucket Positioning Valve

[Jm2002]

Like many my bobcat 763 is getting to the age where leaks are starting. My main leak is coming from the bucket positioning valve which when enabled keeps the bucket leveled when lifting (if that feature even still works). Mine is rotting and leaking fluid. Has anyone bypassed that valve being I never use it. I'm assuming you can pull it and loop the hydraulic lines of cap them off. Just looking to get an experts opinion. Thanks!

There are schematics of the bucket positioning valve in the parts catalog. Maybe they will help some.

Do you have a Serial #? I can put it side by side and mark what you would have to eliminate.

I do not. It was owned by a demo company prior and the tag was ripped off. It's a F series 763. Thanks for you help!
