They are called Banjo bolts. The part that the bolt goes through looks like a banjo. Search the term 澱anjo at Discount Hydraulic Hose | Your Online Hydraulic Shop

I do not think you will find an adapter to directly connect those banjo fittings to your new valve. Can you post a couple more pictures of the ends on the hoses to see if they are crimped or possibly threaded onto another fitting on the end of the hose?

I have a feeling that in order to use your new valve, you will have to take all of the hoses that connect to the valve off of the tractor and take them to a shop to have 90 degree SAE fittings crimped on in place of the banjo fittings.

Thanks, makes sense. I can't seem to find any "banjo to SAE" adapters so you might be right.

So...what I did was just cannibalize all the joystick internal connector pieces from the new control valve and reinstalled onto the current valve - everything matched over perfectly. Sucks to have spent $200+ for a few small connector pieces...but those parts alone seem not to be available at all.

Unfortunately I do seem to have a separate issue now...I noticed it the past few times I used my snowblower but didnt think too much of it. Now that the joystick is fixed I guess I should figure out this problem.

When you lift or lower (or curl) the bucket you can hear the hydraulic pump whining a bit...thats normal, its always done that. However now when I push the stick up into "float" mode it continues to whine. The bucket floats down and appears to be floating correctly, but I can hear the hydraulic pump whining as if its working. Normally I dont think it did that...I'd float it and there would be no noise.

Any idea what might be causing that?

It sure sounds like it’s going into float, but the valve is not bypassing fluid through to the tank and the relief valve is actuating.
I am not a hydraulics expert by any means, but if this is the factory valve, and it is still hooked up properly, then it should not be doing that.

I dont know much about hydraulics either...but that sounds reasonable.

I need to figure this out soon though because I use the float function on my bucket a lot. With spring coming i'll be spreading gravel on my driveway, compost in the gardens, and top soil on areas of the lawn...that float function is key. It still seems to be working luckily but I dont want to cause damage by using it if something is wrong.

It's got to be something in the joystick control valve part I assume...which is why I wanted to just install the entire new one I got rather than just scavenge parts off of it. Replacing all the ends on all the hoses to fit the new block might be the only option I have...

Any idea what a shop charges to crimp new ends on hoses?

Wow this is an old post, but I just ran into this same problem. The dealer said Dukin bought out Besko and there are no parts available. The new valve is $2100. I see you were quoted $850 back in 2019. Ill have to look up the valve in the link you scavenged the parts off of and see how bad this is gonna hurt to fix.
