I cannot find any screws to tighten on the FEL control valve. I took the covers off. I see springs and a cap on the bottom, but no screws. Can someone show me where these might be?
Actually if you look up in the post there is a picture of the valve. The picture I put in takes too ling to load
It is a Jinma 284 with the factory bucket. Here is a look at a similar unit I found online. (mine is a bit older but it shows the FEL controls). TThere is a line from rigid line from the main 3 point piston and fluid tank up to the pump on the engine, from there through quick connects to the valve, out of valve to a diverter (I think), then back to the pump on the engine. I will see if I can find a better diagram
The FEL is still not working after cleaning the valve. I did not locate any screws to tighten when I took the caps off the. I pulled the disconnects and the balls can be pushed in. Please help with some other ideas. How can I verify that I am getting fluid into the controller? I presume I would also need to check the return.
Anyone have pictures of FEL control valve disassembly?
I did end up taking off the cover. It was heavy and I did not tear up the gasket too much. You have to take the cover off, or remove the shifters. You need clearance to get the cylinder out.
When I go the piston out, the O ring was broken, as were the plastic wipers. I had to clean out the bits. I have not fired it up yet to check for leaks, but it looks good.
I also had a problem with the FEL not working, (another post). The screws were tight on the valves. There was a slight amount of dirt on the valves. I will see what happens with this as well.
Thanks for all the help. This site is invaluable.

I pulled off the covers and everything looked tight. Both valves are moving as they should when the lever activates them. I took apart the valve assembly behind the lever. I did not notice much dirt, but the rod in the valve below did seem to be sticking a bit. I cleaned it. Is there any other parts in this controller that could be blocking fluid flow?
Thanks Tommy,
Yes the other hydraulics are working. I will pull those covers off and have a look as soon as I can.
I see this is an older post, but I think I have a similar problem. My FEL will not lift or curl. This has happened before, and I had a mechanic friend that took the control valve apart, cleaned it, put it back together and it worked. He is no longer with us (RIP) and I do not remember exactly how he did it. A picture goes a long way with me. Does anyone have some photos, or a drawing that would show me how I can disassemble and clean?
Also, I do not get where the screws are you mention. This is what my FEL control valve looks like
Thanks Tommy,
I went to the parts page and see the lift repair kit. I presume this is what you are referencing, right?
Did I blow the this out trying to lift something too heavy?
Do I have to drain the hydraulic fluid completely before tearing this down? Being under the seat, I thought I might get away with not doing that?
Also, I have a Jinma BH that is just rusting sitting in the garage. The thing just never worked well, and I replaced the O-Rings on it twice, but they continued to fail. Any interest in it for parts?
Can you recommend a better BH to replace it?
Thanks
