I recently purchased a "butchered" JD 44 loader that is missing the control valve. I was wondering if this valve was standard "off-the-shelf" item from Parker, Vickers or some other company. I know that I can buy a valve that I can make work but would like to have one like the original. Thanks, Jim P.
I used a valve from Bailey Hydraulics for the replacement of the Cessna valve on my Johnson loader. It works well even with the higher output pump that I used.
Thanks for your replies. I actually have another 44 loader on a 420 so today I decided to take the valve off to see if there might be a tag on it. It does have a tag that says Dukes Fluid Power St. Charles, IL 355.SJ 27FATS602NF. I googled Dukes and found out that they had been acquired by a company called QCC in Schiller Park, IL. So far, they have not been able to help me but they continue to research. I really would like to have and original, bolt-in valve but may go the Surplus Center route if all else fails. Thanks again for your help. Jim P.
