  • [comment u/Illustrious_Pepper46] They do make similar valves....Tractor Supply, Northern Tool, Surplus Center, etc. But it wont be a direct retrofit

  • [comment u/ElectricaDo] On those old splitter valves the return spring and detent assembly is usually the first thing to die, and they're rarely worth rebuilding piece by piece. A generic single-spool splitter valve with the auto-return detent runs about -80 and you just replumb the hoses.

  • “Even if parts aren’t around, you can get fairly cheap replacement single function valves for low spec hydraulics like this.”
