Bobcat 453 Hydraulic Valve Removal and Cleaning

This is a description of what I did to remove the hydraulic valve and prepare the 453 for the reinstall action of the valve. the remove portion of the video is about 15 min. I tried to make the video move slow enough to be able to see what was happening but not so slow it lasted forever. I also provided any tips that help me get the valve out.

I have a 453. But the lift arms go up slow . Any suggestions

There are several things to check... 1. Fluid level 2. Change filter 3. Hydraulic valve flow 4. Pinched hose 5. Rebuild cylinders 6. Check for leak 7. Watch valve for leaks as u actuate the pedals I'm in the process of rebuilding my valve. It's a pain to get out. I'd check it last. If it's just the arms, I'd look at everything from the valve on. Anything before the valve is all common and should be ok. Make sure nothing is blocking your pedal. That's happened to me. Let me know what you find.

How to bleed the hydraulic pump and 453 bobcat ?

I havent done it yet but it is probably in the manual. When I put mine back in, I will make that part of the video.
