Does this look like it has float?

Looking at the picture of the spool, I would say it does not have float and not much controllability either. Float spools normally will have a fourth land and I only see three in the picture. There are also no metering notches in that spool so it is essentially on/off. I would hate to try to set something in the bed of a pickup with that loader.

Thank you. That's what I was figuring. Time to buy a new remote kit. Having a bucket with no float is almost useless. Bummer.

Well I gave up hope on these old valves. Hoses need to be replaced anyways. Going to make this right.

Last night I ordered a hydraulic lid blocking plate, the tisco hv5902 hydraulic plate with power beyond port, and a chief p40 monoblock triple spool valve and the adapter to tap into the power beyond on the valve. One valve has float detent, and the other two are spring center. Local shop can make all the hydraulic hoses I need.

Got a good surprise as well, Bailey is celebrating their 50th anniversary and give up to 40 percent off an item so I ended up only paying 200 bucks for the valve plus shipping. Normally it's 276 bucks. Pretty good score.

I figured I'll have the loader on the float detent valve, curl on the next, and the third I'll either plug for now or I was thinking of adding some pioneer fittings so I could run hoses to the front or rear if I ever get anything in the future, grapple or hydraulic top link or whatever, who knows.
