how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

You needing a replacement or parts? Should be able to find a monoblock 5/2P valve to replace it most places around.

Parts would probably be cheaper, but replacement is likely more realistic.
My other problem is I don't know nothin about the different types of hydraulic fittings, so buying a valve with the correct thread will be difficult.
I'll take it in to bumper to bumper and ask, our local guy knows his stuff pretty well.

Don't overlook the local farm stores for parts. What is the issue with it?

Leaks like the Exxon Valdez.
Oly local farm store we have since Orschlin went away is Tractor Supply......but maybe.

Hedgerow: What is the secret handshake to get the top cover off?

Got the usual three screws out but the end by the rear handle acts like it’s glued down.



Either it has an air leak or the carb is not passing fuel.

Comp is 160 and fat spark.

Break it down and see if you can get replacement o-rings locally. If you can't find a certain size you can buy larger diameter buna o-rings with correct thickness and cut/glue to make replacements. I see that there is a hydraulic shop on Hollister that may be able to have the parts for you to buy and install yourself. Might give them a call. Broke down several tractor pistons and been able to get parts with place in Joplin just by matching up.

Probably could rebuild it, trouble is the linkage needs overhauled too...... it's a sloppy mess.
I think I'm going to assign the project to Tom, he likes solving difficulties and fixing stuff.
