Anything is possible, but that seems like a long shot because it is bolting to a matched surface that is flush mounted. There is an o-ring between the block and valve, but the two sit flush when bolted together.
I have been running the tractor with the the new 3 spool valve for 3 months with no issues. And now all of the sudden I put the grapple on and the valve goes. That really doesnt add up in my mind, but I am no hydraulic guru.
I spoke to some different dealers and they all told me that it wouldnt fall under warranty because that is considerd part of the hydaulics system and not the power train. I did finally talk to another dealer today and he said he might be able to make something happen, I will know more tommorow morning, crossing my fingers!
I just want to know what made it fail, so that it doesnt happen on the next one!
