Replacement Directional Control Valve

If the recommended torque is 32 ft lbs, I think I would tighten them to 32 ft lbs.

If the pressure causes the o-rings to extrude, you will need new o-rings in between the stacks.

Ok 32 ft lbs it is. I will tighten them this weekend.
Thanks JJ

Ok, this weekend the major work began. Since all the hydraulic fluid was drained I started by changing the filter.

.
I then mounted the valve.

Finally I started the task of plumbing.

The most difficult part so far, was routing the one inch hose.
All that remains now, is installing a PB conversion plug, and a JIC 14 connector, both which were on back order.
Looking forward to finally completing my project.

Not much got done last weekend. My JIC14 er, not really a JIC14, but a SAE14 ORB to JIC16 arrived. I just screwed it in and attached the hose.
Here is where the connector went on the loader valve.
