Hello there, I have a b6000 from the late 70s. Four-wheel drive. And has a bucket. One of the Springs inside the control valve rusted and broke so the valve lever doesn't return to the neutral position. I've done some research online and found nothing how about this valve. No model number or make it appears to be a genuine Kubota part does anybody know what model number that might be or where I can get parts if at all?

Thanks for any help

Just replace it with a generic valve.

It's a Cessna valve that most of the B219 loaders came with.
Seals are still available, (I think) hard parts are not.
More info here:

Easiest just to replace it with a modern valve.
That is what I will do when mine dies.

Well that was my first attempt. Kept running into brick walls trying to get adapters to go from my Kubota pressure line to the new 2 spool valve. The valve you have pictures I think it's exactly the same one I tried. Got very frustrated been too many warehouses/ tractor Supplies /Hardware Stores to no avail

It appears your old valve has NPT to female pipe swivels. New valve would need SAE to female pipe swivels. About $3 each and much easier than dealing with those pipe thread ports.

Edit: Actually $2.50 from DHH.

Thanks Dan, now we're getting somewhere. On my two spool valve the openings I believe are half-inch SAE? I know half inch pipe thread will screw into it. The hydraulic hose end I believe is quarter-inch male SAE.
Is DHH a supply house?

Thanks

Are we talking about the new or old valve?

Looking closer at the old valve the hose is male pipe (NPT) - most likely 3/8".

The valve has port adapters screwed into it. I initially assumed they were NPT but it appears they are SAE on the valve end and female pipe on the hose end.

Your new valve should have a description of the ports in it. What does it say and who did you buy it from?

DHH is Discount Hydraulic Hose - one of many online hydraulic supply houses.
