    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    Had a stainless allen wrench that was exactly 3mm hex. Cut it to length, just installed in the actuator spool and it works great! So that's all set now too.

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    I removed both actuator spools and was able to tap the valve spool out. It definitely had some resistance coming out. Everything appears very clean. I removed the actuator spools on another function and the valve spool is way smoother, doesn't get stuck like this other one. I used a scotch...

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    Called Versalift for replacement part prices. I can replace the single valve on the control unit, price is $900 with a 6 month lead time.. Yikes The entire control valve is $3,600 with a 3 week lead time. My control valve has the self leveling and additional option so it's the most expensive...

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    The actuator spool does unscrew, I got that removed. There was no springs or washers. This actuator spool doesn't seem to be the issue, nothing is seized on it. Is the valve spool the next part under the actuator? If so thats the part getting stuck when pressed. Any idea how to remove the...

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    Thank you for the information! I will definitely get it rebuilt then and not even try additives. On the control valve, I removed the black nut, slipped the coil off, do you know how I remove the actuator spool? Does it unscrew or something?

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    cant find the part number. I'll give Versalift a call tomorrow to see if I need to replace the entire control valve or not. It's probably pretty pricey. Good news is they still manufacturer this same lift

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    Ok I figured more out. The knobs on the top of the control valve functions are actually push buttons to manually control the function... I didn't realize this since they were all firm. Used some wd40 and got them moving nicely. All of the buttons return to neutral after pushing them in except...

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    This is from the manual. Sounds like each section on the control valve is not replaceable? If it's not electric problem might have to replace entire control value unit?

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    The two red wires going into each valve section is not removable. The wires are like molded into it. I traced the wires on the extend valve and they terminate where I circled in yellow. Also attached a photo of raise cylinder drip leak.

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    and if you can believe it, I was using it yesterday at my property, have not used it in the field since I've been having the control issues... But yesterday while using it the master cylinder that lifts and lowers the arm started a leak which looks like at the seal. When using the raise function...

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    Thank you for the input. I have access to the main control valve, pictures attached. All sections are labeled, extend and retract are at the far right side. When you say pull the two wires loose, are you talking about the dual red wire that is going into the sections? Do you think they just...

    Versalift Bucket Extend Issue

    Hi, I have a 2008 F350 with a Versalift TEL-29-N bucket on it. It's currently having an issue with extension operation getting stuck on. When I toggle to extend from both the upper and lower controls it will start extending and won't stop when I release the toggle. I need to toggle retract to...
