Avoid High-Pressure Fluids

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin

causing serious injury.

Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before

–UN–23AUG88
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure.

Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands

X9811
and body from high pressure fluids.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid

injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a
few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with
this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable
medical source. Such information is available from Deere
& Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.

4. Remove pins and disconnect stabilizer linkage from
stabilizer spool bellcranks.
5. Disconnect loader boom spool linkage, tie band
loader linkage out of way.
IMPORTANT: Thoroughly clean control valve
before disassembly of spools to
prevent contamination.
6. Remove lock nut (14) from front spool bellcrank (5).
7. Remove lock nut (17) and cap screw (2) connecting
bellcranks (1 and 5) to base (4).
IMPORTANT: Stabilizer spools are identified with
grooves at top of spool, the spool
with three grooves is installed into
the first spool bore (closest to valve
inlet). Spool with four grooves is
installed into the second spool bore.
15. Install new stabilizer spool with three grooves into
first spool bore (toward rear of machine) at bottom
of control valve.
16. Install new stabilizer spool with four grooves into
second spool bore (toward front of machine) at
bottom of control valve.

8. Remove socket head cap screws (3), remove base
(4), and front spool bellcrank (5) from top of control
valve.
9. Rotate rear stabilizer spool 180 degrees and
remove lock nut (14) from rear stabilizer spool
bellcrank (1).
10. Place a vacuum on hydraulic reservoir.
11. Remove socket head cap screws (12) and seal
plates (13) from top of loader control valve.
NOTE: To aid with assembly install shoulder cap
screws (20) into bottom of new spools
approximately two turns, install caps (21)
loosely using one cap screw (8). This will
ensure that stabilizer spools are protruding
from top of control valve housing enough to
install new seals and will prevent spools from
falling out when installing top seals.
17. Install shoulder cap screws (20), caps (21), and
cap screws (8) loosely onto stabilizer spools and
to bottom of control valve.
