Ford 730 loader valve

Today I picked up what I think is a Ford 730 loader. We took it off a Ford 3000, so I am confident it will fit on mine. It needs a little work but is in pretty good shape for the age. There is a serial plate with component number 19-529 on it, serial number D 576060.

Is there a good place to buy a rebuild kit for the spool valve? At least one of the centering springs is completely shot and both levers are very loose.

Is it normal for the loader to drop like a stone when I try to lower it, even when it's empty? Or is this a problem with the valve? The cylinders seem to be in good condition, they don't leak and don't droop.

Thanks for any advice.

Mine drops pretty fast. It may be on tractor data but someplace listed the time it takes to reach it full left, dump etc. It was the fastest while lowering.
 


And they are heavy, be careful unloading it. When I took mine off I used my jd 750 CUT with a boom and it maxed out the 3 pt hitch. Driving them out of the loader would be nerve racking, not much space unless to can get the rear frame up pretty high
