Dan,
I really appreciate the help, and patience.
I'll need to get more ties in am so I can mark where the hoses go.
I spent most of today trying to find somebody to make the hose that popped. Got it on, no leaks.
If I get another controller am I gonna need to replace hoses again? I mean, they're all $100+.

You should be able to reuse most if not all of the hoses.

The price you are paying for nrw hoses is crazy high. I make hoses using that same Gates hose shown in your pictures. Its good stuff. My cost is $4 per foot plus the ends. A 4' hose with JIC-08 female swivel ends costs me $26 and takes 5 minutes to make.

Well, O'REALLY! the only place that makes hoses near here charged me $135 yesterday with the wrong fittings. Employee said "Its all we had". Gave me a refund. Got it at NAPA for $90.
Anyway, FWIW here go more pics.

Well my retina is coming unglued again so I gotta tend to it.
Any suggestions on a controller?

Here is one but I really think you should do some basic diagnostics before throwing parts at it.

On the pump? Controller? Both? Do you have a link?
I have diesel fuel pump and injection testers.
At the loader valve. You will need a 5000 PSI gauge and appropriate hydraulic fittings.. You can buy one online for $20 or kess. Based on the parts diagrams for the tractor there is no relif shead oc the loader valve so inlet pressure test is a little complicated. Better to simply testvat outlet.
