I have searched for a used valve assembly with no luck. The boom section of my valve is definitely bad. The other sections are working but might possibly be damaged as well. When I bought the hoe, it had a brand new pump on it. The previous owner kept turning up the pressure as the older pump got weaker. After the pump got weaker and he couldn’t turn the pressure up any more, he then decided to put the new pump on. Only thing is, he didn’t turn the pressure back down for the new pump. He lived close to the beach with sandy soil so he probably never stalled the pump. I bought the hoe and transported it 100 miles inland to hard red clay rocky soil. While pushing over a 18” diameter tree, I stalled the pump and the pressure must have skyrocketed to the point it ballooned the “not sure the technical name” but the silver test tube looking things inside the sections. They are machined for each section so once they get damaged, the section is useless. I would feel better buying a whole new aftermarket valve or one from another backhoe brand if they could be made to work.
