I need to replace my controller. Very sloppy linkage and I can't float the bucket. I have read some old threads that recommended an after market replacement that was pretty much plug and play. However the links are not active anymore. Does anyone know which controller would be best?

I don't know if this is plug and play, as you might need adapters for the ports.

The OEM valve is a bit smaller and IIRC has SAE-06 vs SAE-08 ports so not 100% plug and play. The port layout is the same so a little minor surgery on the mounting bracket and a handful of new SAE to JIC adapters in the appropriate combinations should be all thats needed to hook it into the existing hoses. That assumes the current plumbing is still OEM which may be a bit optimistic.....

You can probably save $30 or so on shipping if you get that same valve from Summit

Will I also need adapters for the in/out ports and the power beyond sleeve?

See pics above. The new valve I ordered does not have a port where the return hose that goes back onto area where you fill the hydraulic fluid, near the dip stick. Do I have the wrong valve?

Sorry guestion in the next post
The tank (T) port goes to the transmission.

You need to install the power beyond sleeve in the N port.

Ok. So remove the plug. That makes sense thanks. I have never had to do anything except replace the hose on the loader. I appreciate the help. If I can get it all working, I hope to post a detailed thread on what I needed to do to.make it happen for the next guy.

Just ti be crystal clear.

Remove the plug in the N port and install the sleeve. That port then goes back to the LEFT port on the tractor's hydraulic outlet block (side of the engine).

Ths T port is the one that goes to the transmission oil filler.
