My Float position on 730 loader quit working. The arms Up/Down lever wont stay in Float position anymore. You can feel it trying to catch but pops out. Any ideas?

Take the cap on the end of the spool opposite the handle end. The float detent may be dirty, out of adjustment, worn out, or broken.

Could you provide some clarification?

This photo is similar to mine, but the assembly pointed to by red arrow is taller and has an acorn-nut on top. Are you referring to removing assembly pointed to by blue arrow? Beneath? From what I remember, there is a 1.5" (approx) diam cap underneath that is in line (co-axial) with the Up/Down (Arms) lever valve shuttle.

Thanks for the help... if any.

Your arrow is pointing at the relief valve. The float detent assembly is attached to the opposite end (bottom) of the spool from the Handle (top). It is inside the cap (you mentioned), underneath the valve, which is not visible in this picture.

Here is a link to a page from the online 730 parts book page for a valve with float detent. Look at item key numbers 15 through 20, those are float detent parts.
