I have a 1975 5000 I am trying to help a friend repair. On the remote valve below the seat, the handle was broken off due to a bad seat. It actually broke the end of the spool where the handle attached. Also both hoses are dry rotted to the point they both need replacing. Yesterday tractor sales a remote kit listed for the 5000 with a new control valve, hoses, couplings, and bolts. Would this kit work as a replacement for his tractor? I also saw an adapter plate listed for this tractor as well. Would we need this for the newer style controller to mount?? We priced new hoses at near $40-$60 each but all I have found in a replacement control valve was a used one at around $250 and Im not 100% sure it would be exactly the same as his original. With the kit being only about $300, we thought this may be the most cost effective way to go if it fits?? Anyone have any ideas or had any experience with this? Thanks
