Hyd Lift control rebuild?

[KB9LOR 4]

Could not get any bites on this in my other thread so I split it up....I have a 69 Electro 12, can the Lift control Valve be rebuilt?

Thanks,

Well going to tear into the control valve in the morning, that's IF i have power in the shop....lol

If you can get it apart, it can probably be resealed.

I know the newer control valves are serviceable (and seal "kits" are available), but I have never messed with the old ones.

Man! that stinks, seems everything on this is not rebuild friendly, If it is a sealed one, I am going to either make it a manual lift or find a c121 with Hyd lift and use it as a donor tractor, this Electro is too nice to part out. I have to fix it!

I'm sure someone has a working control valve they'll sell.

Got a small update, Went to the Hydraulic Shop today after work, Owner working told me easy fix on the seals, told me they should not be much(Price wise), if so I am going to pick up a bunch and then will have some on hand for the next guy to fix his Valve. And found the Owner has some old Single Thumper Cast Iron Briggs engines he is wanting to part with 16hp and down, Plus a 16hp twin eactly like the one in my GT-1642 now! Man can you say what luck!

Well got bad news today, his supplier does not carry that small of a Buna seal. he could not figure out if it was Metric or SAE! So back to square one!

SAE 1/2"OD X 1/16"X 5/16ID

Metric 2-1/2 mm Tall x CS=2mm x ID=7.5mm OD=12mm

Brian, I'm going to town in the morning so I'll stop by my supplier and see what he has.

How many seals do you need for this??
