Christmas tree valve crack

I made a dumb mistake today, and I'm kicking myself for it. While replacing a hose on my farmall H I over-tightened the fitting and cracked the Christmas tree valve body. I placed an add here on YT, but does anybody have a complete valve or even just the body they might part with? Is there a used parts dealer that may have it? No salvage yards around me.

I'm just sick about this...
 
if the crack in the housing doesn't go into the spool there are a couple of ways to make a lasting repair a picture would help
 
2 ways to fix that,easiest would be vee the crack slightly screw a hyd. fitting into it braze the vee then braze the fitting to the housing,next is more complicated you need to be experienced with brazing techniques it involves veeing the crack down to the threads and brazing it up then chase the threads with a pipe tap
 
Been around Farmalls most of 75 years. Am not familiar with the term "Christmas tree valve." What and where is it? Guess it's a term that never caught on in my circle of friends!
 
Hey, I worked on these machines since 1958. At dealer for over 41 years and don't think I ever heard them called Christmas tree valves either until I got a computer some years ago and got on these tractor sites. To me they were factory style remote control valve for the old Farmalls. It is just the valve that mounts on either the belly pump inlet or between live pump and reservoir on live hydraulic systems on H, M and supers.
