Hello, I have a 1998 1070 with a 440 loader. While tilling a couple of weeks ago I had to pull the scv lever about every 10 minutes to keep the loader from running into the ground. I do hope this problem can be rectified with a simple fix. Possibly changing out a valve? The tractor is plumbed with the power beyond for the backhoe. When the tractor is not running the loader will stay at any height I choose. I have noticed that when the backhoe is on it also leaks down. If anyone has a solution I would be grateful.

I have a 332 and believe it is a 18 Hp. It is based on the 318 chassis/frame. The lower series tractors below the 318 have different frames but are all hydrostats. I also have the same amount of hours on my 332. The primary use of my 332 is for blowing snow in North Dakota. The machine is a 1985. Has never been necessary to preform any other maintenance other than for routine service.
Also have a 318. The difference in the amount of fuel each of these machines use is incredible. The 318 will go through 10 gallons per day. The 332 can run two days and still has 1 gallon in the tank. Paid $5,500.00 4 years ago for the 332. There is a gas version of the 332 model around but I'm not certian of the model number. JD found that the customer didn't like the diesel exhaust at startup in the garage. So they converted the 332 Yanmar engine to a fuel injected gas engine. I highly recommend this tractor as a lawn and garden tractor.

Could someone tell me why there is an 8A and 8B backhoe available for the 1070 JD. I ordered a new backhoe bucket from the JD dealer and he informed me that JD makes 2 backhoes. So I am wondering what the differences are?
