It is the one made in China.

Those are notoriously sloppy valves and many of us have replaced them with aftermarket controls sold by Affordable Tractor or RanchHand Supply in order to get smoother functioning and also float and regen, features the Chinese valve doesn't have. That said, I'd suggest you get an assortment of metric O-rings from Harbor Freight or similar and take the offending valve apart, clean it and replace any suspicious-looking O-rings. Definitely take pictures as you disassemble it so you will know how to re-assemble it, and be careful of springs that may go flying out when you unscrew the caps or pull things out. Hydraulic valves are fairly simple in design and function and they probably used standard metric O-rings rather than some oddball special size.

How expensive would it be to replace this one with the aftermarket one you mentioned ?

It wasn't cheap, $600.00, but it was worth it, in my opinion. I love having float on the bucket for smoothing ground by backdragging and things like that. I also like the fact that I can make compound moves, something that the OEM control was incapable of. I still want to upgrade to a higher capacity hydraulic pump to improve that, but that's in the future. I got mine here: Jinma Loader Valve

Thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna see how my tractor works out before I spend that on the control valve. I can manage for now.
