Bush hog M246 loader valve

[LenR]

Has bush hog abandoned their loaders? I can't seem to find anyone that will work on one.

I have a M246 loader with Walvoil SDM103/25 (unsure of last digit) that started leaking under the joystick boot. I took it apart and found the pivot was loose. I thought it might be leaking thru those screws. I tightened those and it's better, but still leaks. One of the other 2 screws was loose, so I wonder if it blew a seal because of the loose screws.

Any ideas? How hard would it be to swap to another loader valve? I'm still waiting on calls from some dealers, maybe they are just busy.

Thanks

It's possible upon disassembly one can replace seals to correct valve leak. If you disassemble be sure to put each spool back in original location.
