valve availability?

[zombie]

Hey guys, I posted a couple days ago about a valve I couldn't I'd. Found out from tractor tech that they were Gannon gold seal valves. One of the spools is cracked and I'm having trouble locating just the spool or even a whole valve for that matter. Anyone have any ideas?

Is for a backhoe, or loader or something else?.

Have you looked at Surplus Center?

Oops, it's for a Gannon box scraper. There are three of these valves on a manifold. Top link, side link, and rippers. I didn't see anything like this on their site that was a manifold mount.

So this is a bank of 3 valves mounted on your tractor with quick disconnects?

It is mounted to my top plate under the seat of my Ford 3500. There are no quick disconnects on it though. Here is a link to the setup. Valves Gold Seal | Messick's
There are 3 of these valves.

So it uses an adapter plate to match up to the or ford hyd block, then is a stacking valve assy?

 

[zombie]

Yep. Adapter plate matches up with the top of the Ford's plate, then a manifold splits that apart three ways. From what I could find the manifold style is called laminar manifold. It's a pretty trick setup. I will try to get real pics of it later today.

Here's a couple pics of the assembly. As much as I'd hate to, I would even consider going to a different system, but I don't know what I would need to do it.

I've just been looking around some, but was wondering if something like this would work? At least it's readily available. Isn't there a remote adapter manifold for these fords? seems like i've come across them but didn't pay too much attention since I thought I was all good to go.

In searching through some more of the site, would the hv4902 be the correct plate then? If so, do I need a factory block of plate or will a flat plate be ok?
