Hi All, I have a question about a Cross dual spool hyd valve wnet to install it on my tractor as a replacement and promptly blew a hyd hose oiling me and the tractor. Anyway I removed the valve to check it out and using air found that no air will flow from the inlet port to the outlet port the spools work as they should, so I removed a large plug on the side of the valve just ahead of the outlet port and air flow freely putting the plug in about half way and air flows out the outlet all the way in and it stops. This plug has an "O" ring next to the hex to seal and about an inch of threads then its necked down to about 1/2" for a 1/4" then enlarges with and "O" ring that seals the area. I'm thinking I could just cut off the extended part and hyd oil will free flow out the outlet port just like the original valve. Will this work any reason I shouldn't cut it off??
Here's what the plug looks like"
