Are there any alternative 3 lever valves that would fit?

[Ramrod1150]

I have a Ramrod Taskmaster 1150 that has a wheel motor shooting metal into the lever that controls it. Because of this the lever is now jammed (again - I already removed the spool and cleaned the metal particles out to have it fail after 2 hours of use again).

No other hydraulic systems are giving me issues of any kind so I am assuming that the pump is still in alright shape.

So this brings me to my question - should I purchase the 3 lever valve through ramrod and pay $700 or are there any other 3 lever valves that would handle the same flow (12 gallons per minute) and relief pressure (3000psi) that may be more economical?

I figure the wheel motor will have to be purchased straight from the manufacturer. If not please help point me in the right direction!

For reference, here are the part numbers as listed in the Ramrod Parts Manual:
1125840 - 3 Lever valve (made by Bucher Hydraulics)
1127461 - Wheel Motor





Thank you in advance for any knowledge on the subject!

You can "build your own" valve at many websites; Surplus Center is the big one. But if you have a motor "making metal", that will need to be fixed before your pump is destroyed.

I gave Bucher a call recently on a valve topic.

Good outfit, but "indistrial" Ask about "end user sales". Then see if you can get a replacement for your exact valve.

Oh, And that system needs cleaned. Metal is real trouble!
