Adding a spool valve to Ford 3000

[jmandrze]

I am looking to add a single spool valve to our 3000 to make moving a few things around an easier task. I prefer the bolt and go route. I found two and was wondering if anyone had any experience with either one or had an alternative solution that they could recommend.

Here are the two I was looking at, I was leaning more towards the broken tractors model.

They both look to be the same valve to me. I haven't seen any of those in use but they are priced better than the OEM style valve kits.

seems like a 100$$ PB plate, a 65$ PB valve and 35$ of hose would be the cheap way to go...

Soundguy,

I assume PB is power beyond. Would this be the adapter plate? https://www.external_link.com/atpcart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=38_40&products_id=1752

And this an appropriate valve?

Thanks for the information and potentially saving me some $$.

something like thois plate:

and perhaps soemthing like this.

open center single spool, set as sa.. etc... plenty meet your needs..

The one from the tractor doc for $437.90 is a pretty good deal and it is an easy bolt on with no extra hoses to run and you won't have to find a place to mount the valve.

Neither would be my first choice.
I would just buy a used remote valve from someone and put that on. I just sold 2 singles here in the last couple of days. $200 each.

Agreed.
