I thank everyone for the kind words! We are all here for the same reason, trying to share our knowledge and experiences with others. I think at this time of year, it is important to remember the reason for sharing and giving. Jim

PS: Everyone, please have a very Merry Christmas

Jim - You are correct this is a great forum for sharing experience. Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures. was able to get the valve installed this evening in about 25 mins and that included the time to remove the deck. Happy Holidays all!

No need for teflon tape.

They say that teflon tape risks getting some in the hyd. oil and messing up things. So they say. I've used it in the past, but don't anymore.

I totally agree and the elbow you take off does not have it applied. The O Rings take care of sealing things.
