1983 Ford 1700 Hydraulic Issue

I acquired a 1983 Ford Model 1700 w/ a backhoe and bucket and am a bit stumped with a hydraulic issue. When the bucket is empty it actuates downward at snails pace. A little history, I've been rebuilding cylinders and hoses since I acquired it. Replaced the Hydraulic Pump, cleaned the screen. I'm suspecting the Valve body since it is is NOT original. But not sure if you can make adjustments in the valve body or not. Don't want to pull trigger on a new valve body if the problem lies elsewhere. Anybody got any input?
