I have a 1971 2000 LCG 3cyl tractor that lived it's life before me on a golf course and came with a dual remote hydraulic valve. Only one side is operational (DA only) and I now need two. I have a one arm loader that I am wanting to run on a SA port so that I can plumb in other DA stuff on the good port, like a 3point hyd. toplink, etc. Ultradog helped me plumb the DA so that I could use it temporarily for the one arm.
Here is a pic of the valve.
The other side has the plunger rotated 90 degrees and is frozen in place. I tried to move it somewhat but did not force it fearing that I would break it and make the whole valve useless. It looks like it may have never been hooked up because there is only one set of OEM hoses on the unit, and the lever is missing. I am guessing that over the years, the plunger may have vibrated to this position and froze there due to non-use. Some kid doofus probably broke off the lever (see the nub that is broke) and dumped the lever. I have a new lever and pivot.
What are my options? I could try to rebuild it myself, but my track record on success with this sort of thing is pretty low. Is this rebuildable option the best one if I find someone that knows this stuff? Any recommendations on who? Cost?
Could I put a plate underneath it and plumb in a cheapo log splitter valve. This would make it look a bit cluttered, but hey, my wife already said my tractor is ugly so whatever.
I could sell this as-is on ebay and buy an new dual setup (expensive to very expensive).
Also, the existing lever interferes with the position control. I have to put it in draft to use the lever to it's full range. Is this normal?

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
