Cub Hydraulics

The following is an email that I sent to the addressees below. I may have priced the block too high. I would be willing to knock off $10.

The block diverts 100% of the output. The Cub touch control can handle a large cylinder if it is double acting. The block was probably used on the one-arm Cub loader.

>I only have one block. This puts me in the position of having to make one or listing the block on eBay. It will take me about three hours to reproduce and ship the block. The cost will be $75 and includes shipping. I have a Bridgeport miller so that is not a problem. I believe the genuine part is made from 3/4 steel plate. I would probably make the reproduction from 1" stock even though I probably have the 3/4" stock. There are approximately 7 or 8 holes on the face and one 1/4" NPT on an edge. The new piece could be made from aluminum for the same price. I can't remember if gaskets or O-rings are used to bolt it up. The pressurized fluid will have to go a small open center valve. It can be either 3-way (single acting) or 4-way (double acting). I still have the after market 4-way valve somewhere but don't know its condition. If it appears to be OK, I would let it go for $45. I might even get lucky and find the mounting plate that I made for the valve. No charge for that. I think it used the steering column flange and transmission cover bolts.

If you send me a SASE, I will send you a rubbing (like a gravestone
rubbing) and include some dimensions. There are a total of nine holes.
One hole is blind and takes right angle to empty out the side. Thre are
four different hole sizes plus one threaded female NPT. It could be made in
a drill prress.
