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
