Hi, just joined up as am after some info, just bought myself a 1989 erf e6 180 with Eaton 9 speed box and the hi low doesn’t work as its been standing for ten years. Ive tracked ut down to the range change air shuttle valve. My question is does anyone know the part number, or where i can find a good secondhand one? Thanks
I suggest to write an email to your nearest Eaton-dealer or even with a nice letter
to the Kalamazoo-Head-Quarters…there is always somebody that nice to help as
there are archives…I speak out of experience and a lot is kept secure for us!

hi gaz,
if you take it all apart and clean it very well,you may? find thats all was wrong? my 1974 a series was the same when i bought it.check the spring loaded pin that locates inside the box,it allows range change to actuate after the gear lever moves.there is also the piston in the valve that can seize.it worked on mine! 45 minute fix.hope this helps and good luck.
regards andrew.
Sounds OK to me m8
Hi, i was hoping that would fix mine and that’s what ive tried, unfortunately its a complete rusty pitted mess so i think replacement is the only option. Just not sure the best way to get hold of a replacement
Try buying one from a re conditioners like H l Smith at Albrighton I think they will be cheaper than Erf/man agent ,an example of this is for the big 9 speed a rear pinon seal I was quoted £80, smiths posted me one for £15 .
Hiya DAN…did you see that chap at Kelsall with a stall full of valves…he,s from Tamworth. his place is sort of at
the back of the service’s area. i have his phone number give me a few hours i’ll try and find it for you

Couldn’t the earlier valves be stripped and cleaned but the later type were a sealed unit, or has my memory failed me yet again?

If you really get stuck & fancy a day out, Walker’s of Manchester have usually got an ERF or two in their yard. Someone on here will know their phone number if you can’t find it.
Nev Peate at St Martins might know of something, he’s on here as oxo3.
Cheers Dave.
Still on te lookout for one of these. Any help great fully received. Everyone I speak to seems to have different models so can anyone shed Any light on the make and model of this particular valve? All that’s stamped on it is 8873665 on the back, no idea if that’s a part number or casting number
