Dukes Fluid Power 1325 valve

[cbailey1956]

Hello all. I recently scrounged several valve assemblies that were used on bucket trucks. Four, 4section assemblies. 1st spool is motor which appears to allow no flow through to the following 3 spring centered spools. Remaining spools work when motor is in neutral. All inlet and outlet and valve sections have a "1325" casting number followed by additional numbers. Can't seem to find any info using Google. Appears the Duke line was acquired by another company which my searching has not found specs for the valves. Does anyone have information about the flow ratings, etc for the 1325 series. Trying to put hydraulics together for my firewood processor and was hoping to use these banks/sections for most functions. Thanks in advance. Craig

Finally got some pictures. Several views of the "Duke Fluid Power" valves. 1325 is stamped on most parts along with extensions such as "1325 12". The last picture is a Vickers valve which I have deduced as CM11 series. Have several sets of each and am cleaning and replacing seals in the "Duke" sets as I need. The Vickers set I disassembled has a lot more seals per bank and I have not taken the time to size them out yet to order seals. They are a larger spool and I think they will handle 20GPM which is more than I need. The Duke sets look like they should handle around 10 - 12GPM but I would like to know what they are so I can size my circuits properly. Will need one motor spool later on to power a harvester bar and motor. Thanks, Craig
