Tractor Repair: ford 3000 pressure relief valve, pressure relief valve, ford 3000

Question
i have a ford 3000 with a fel attached. hyd seem to work intermittingly. when i remove cap nut and spring retaining press relief valve  and rotate piston seeems to work better.piston is worn quite badly.are parts available? if so where from? if not is there a way to bypass the valve. tractor is app 1974 model.  thankyou

Answer
John if this is on the spool valve it may not be avalable as a part only as a new spol system.
If it is in the pump of the tractor it would be available as a new pressure releif valve.
On most spool valves the spools are machine fit to each valve bank so parts are not available for them.


Hope this helps with your problem matey.
