The instructions with my Coast Valve were very Vague. With proper instructions this install would take about 10 minutes. Took me 30 minutes. Yeah, I'm slow.......
The instructions say to remove the four bolts holding the bed lift hydraulic oil so it can be raised to access the 12mm hex head plug that needs removed.
Okay, no problem. Remove the bolts and raise the tank until it hits the bed. Yep, I see the plug. Remove it. Nope, wrong plug. It does nothing that I can tell. If you are at the back of your machine looking forward, it's staring you in the face once you raise the oil tank.
Hmmmmmmmm....... Can't see any other plug that fits the description. Feel around with my fingers. Awwwww,, there it is. Just below and to the left of the visible plug. The plug in question is vertical. You can't see the face.
Okay, remove the vertical plug and stick a magnet in the hole. Come out with a spring. Okay, according to the instructions this is accurate. Should next come out with the old valve. Nope...... Try and try. Finally make a wire hook to try and pull out the old valve. Nothing.
Okay, I'll crank the machine and raise the bed all the way so I can access the hole from the top. Not good. Well,,,,,, part of it was good. Instantly blew oil out the hole!!!!!! Shut it off!!!!! Dang it....... Floor dry...... Easily a cup of oil on the floor. Clean up the mess.
Okay, let's stick out finger down in the hole and feel what's going on.... Eureka!!!! The old valve is gone. Blew that sucker right out!!!!! Where's it at?? Look everywhere, can't find it. Who cares,,,, it's out!!!!!
Installed the new valve, then installed the retaining spring, then installed the hex plug.
Took it for a test drive. LOT'S better. Coasts to stop rather than skidding the rear tires. I'm gonna like this.
Back to the shop. Raise the bed and look for the old valve. Find it on top of the transmission case.
Refill the oil level and life is good. :)
If anyone is installing this valve and has questions, just ask.
Sorry, the stupid picture attachment device isn't working. I'll try again later. Sorry.
