Sorry for the delay. I did purchase a rocker plate and am thinking of buying cables too, before I go the whole joystick route. I am not at the tractor's location, but are there "stand-sized" cables as I cann ot find specs on the length of the ones I have.
If all that fails, I would go the combined JS/valve and deal with new hoses as they are weathered. The Surplus unit looks good. No idea about thread compatibility. Any other suggestions? I will call Scott, the Service Director in Rome, Atlanta, but he can be hard to get a hold of.
By the way, does anyone know if a Peruzzo Flail mower will fit a Harbor Freight quick attach?
Thank you
