Hi Terry,

untill better help shows up, i'll try. i know nothing of ford loaders. the valves may be made by cross, prince, williams or gresen. I would think rebuild kits are available from Ford but i use a company called baum 800 228 9288 http://www.baumhydraulics.com/. great people to deal with and have a good catalogue.

a rebuild would consist of washing the exterior of the valve.
removing the end caps (carefull of spring loaded parts and small ball detents).
pulling out the spool. removing any old wipers, seals, orings etc. i use an assortment of brass rods sharpened and bent into helpfull shapes for this. carefully cleaning and inspecting metal parts for excessive wear (that would dectate replacement of the entire valve).
installation of new seals,wipers etc. and replacing the end caps. not a bad job all and all. keep the interior parts very clean and work in a well lighted and controled area (so you can find small dropped parts before the floor grimlins get them)

a typical cross valve rebuild kit will have a wiper seal, maybe a gasket or two and about 3 orings. the cost should be under $20.00

sorry to be so wordy, good luck.
