I have a bucket and boom that drift down too quick to leave alone. I isolated the hoses for the boom and got no drift down in a half an hour so I pulled the spools out to find them in poor shape. Polishing on the lathe didn't help much so it looks like a replacement is in order. Is there a direct replacement available from Ware machine works or do I have other options? This is a two spool. Are these open center? I'm not familiar with the terminology. Also, does anyone know the pressure and flow rates for what I have. The spool valve model # is V1DD44DM
Thanks,
Eric
It will be a couple of days before I can look but I think Hydreco made them. Hydreco does not make valves anymore. Me I would put a Gresen(now Parker) SP valve with float on the machine. Questions?
Thanks for the reply John.
It says Ware Machine Works on my valve but I don't need a factory replacement. Gresen (now Parker) I'm sure I can find. Is "SP" the model I'm looking for or do I need specs? The float option sounds good as I've used that on other machines. Do you know any reasonable sources for the Parker valve?
Thanks again,
Eric
Send me your phone number and e-mail address by Sunday as I am leaving on business for most of the next 3 weeks. John
Will do, thanks John.
