Russell you think right into those holes? cant hurt to try. I've read that the marks indicate positioning for the valve, although if you read the manual it just says to turn it all the way clockwise when running power steering.
The one problem I can't fix- broken head on diverter valve

The holes don't go anywhere there were just roll pins as stops.
Take a pick and pry out the seal, that's the only thing holding the pin valve in there.

Thanks for all the help Wolfman. Are you saying I don't have to unscrew it?

No not the small holes just the large hole with threads in it. I assume you’re trying to get that part out. Not sure why it won’t come out by pulling on it. I think the nut holds it in but probably nothing but o rings are holding it in the hole currently, but I have not looked at an illustrated assembly of the parts.

Would it be possible to drill a hole crosswise through the stub and put a rod or wire to pull or pry the valve stem out?

Wolfman is far wiser than I, so I would listen to his guidance. I dont understand how the pin will still not turn though if the seal is the only thing holding it in place.
This is the place to be, all this input is very much appreciated. For the record I've googled this up and down and landed on this site tons of times, I'm glad I joined and again really appreciate all the help, will update!

OK, I'm real curious now... just what do I lookup to see this 'vavle' in the online parts screen ?
If that piece is just 'sitting' in there,fill cavity with 50-50,wait overnight, clamp new vicegrips on the shaft, use a pickle fork to oull the 'stem' up, out of the casting.

I'm fairly certain that it's the main hydraulic valve on the tractor. Below is what the entire assembly looks like from a post that I found on another forum.

Got it !!! hmm, shaft broke off at the lower roll pin...
I'd still fill with oil, wait, and then try to pry up using vicegrips and pickle fork. for some extra 'help', could you run tractor and 'pull levers' to get high pressure hydraulic oil to 'push' on the end of the valve inside ?
Yeah, be careful !
Maybe some gentle taps on the stub shaft, to try to get ANY 'oil' past the stuck area?

Je that picture exactly represents what we're working on, sans that pretty head and pins.. I got it to budge enough to bypass the loader so I winched that up and it's in the shop, good news is it moved and the next time it works should be fixed.
As far as the part not being threaded I'm not sure why it would say to turn it clockwise completely, seemed to unscrew a bit. Will try to completely remove and post pics because up to this day I've never been able to find a better shot of this part than the old diagrams (which seem to show threads).

They are as you suggested the remains of roll pins. They function as stops to position the rotary valve when turned, in the correct positions.
Valve let loose and I was able to adjust it. I used Industrial 90 and PB, both from my friend NAPA Doug. After budging it with an extractor, I removed a banjo fitting for access and used 100% from a set of loaner vice grips, it was then able to be turned by hand.
Still a squeek, going to try further tomorrow in the light. I'm thinking the relief is possibly damaged. Thanks again for all the help guys, I wouldn't wish squeeky steering on my crankiest neighbor.
