This post is for any who follow with the same or similar controls on a similar tractor which is basically any tractor with a loader and a 3 pt hitch, The power for the 3 pt is supplied from the loader control valve.
This was originally a joy stick control using the Nimco Controls 14460-2s CV112 valve. It was broken and sticking. See the original post for original pictures.
I decided to go with a 3 spool 3 lever control valve. This allowed me to easily add a 3rd spool control for a third process if I wanted to. It is currently blocked off. The valve is a BLB BM40 3 spool control valve and cost 459 cdn. The power beyond is $30 cdn. I could have put on a BLB BM40 2 spool for about 350 cdn I purchased it here.

and the power control valve
So my total cost was $500 cdn including fittings
Getting a valve from Summit Hydraulics would have been cost prohibitive as they would have charged about $160 US in shipping putting the cost of the valve up around 800 cdn when currency exchange is taken in.
The valve works well. It is a 9 gpm valve and which is a better fit for the tractor as it is only 5.9 gpm to the FEL and the 3 pt on the back. The original was 11gm. That difference makes a lot of difference in how smooth the valve lowers the loader.
The instructions in the manual were really good and explained how to install the power beyond fitting.
Overall very happy with this valve and it only too 45 minutes to install. No need to pay 1800 which is what the Massey dealer wanted.
