hydraulic control lever travels too far, relieves pressure

[100 td]

p.s. I'm frugal to a fault, as is evidenced by me having this Frankenstein of a tractor

I can't see from that pic but "some" valve/levers have a couple of pin locations allowing reverse operation of of the spool. I can see what appears to be a spare hole in one lever, whether this valve/lever combo allows repinning to get the lever to operate the spool the opposite way or not I don't know, but would be worth a check if you don't want to fork out more cash.

Here would be an excellent contender for replacement.

I'm finally getting back to this. How does this controller mount to the tractor? It looks like it has two holes for bolts through the body on the side, but I don't see a clean way to use them. Is some other bracket needed?

Edit: looking at it again, it looks like it would just mount to a surface, like my other controller is shown in post #15, which is a platform that is U-bolted onto the FEL frame.
