My Woods 7500 three point backhoe has developed a slow leak/drip from what appears to be the lower spool relief valve on the second block from the left (looking at it from the back of the tractor.
Are parts for these old control valves still available? Is it cost effective to rebuild? I did see a new control block is...(gulp) $2200 from a popular online tractor parts house. This is not happening, but I do want to either fix it, or know if I don't its not likely to take a 5 gallons hydraulic pil crap on me.
What do you all do with an otherwise good, usable consumer grade backhoe when age and parts become a dilemma? I hate to take it out back and shoot it.
Thanks!
