Replacement for a Nimco Controls 14460-2s

[Colin1960]

I just bought a Massey Ferguson 1734 with a L105E loader on it. The joy stick for the loader is damaged. Looks like the joy stick broke off ( maybe something fell on it) and someone tried to weld it. They did a lousy job. Anyway up and down works fine but the bucket twist jams when dumping and you need to jiggle it to get it to stop which is hit and miss. When you take the boot off you can see the valve sticks in the depressed position. (Edit to correct mistake}

The valve is a Nimco Controls 14460-2s. Can not find a cross reference for it and it looks like it is not current because I can get no hits on it and when I phoned a local distributor he could not find it.

Can this be fixed? Can I replace it with something else? Massey wants $1808 for a replacement valve which seems excessive.

It sounds excessive because it is. The Nimco valves found on many modern (and I use the term loosely) compact and utility type tractor loaders are some of the lowest overall quality products out there. There are gobs of replacement units out there that will work as well (or better) for as low as $50. Most are $100 to $250. Just be mindful of what style and size ports your current valve has, or you can also just change out a few fittings and/or hoses if needed to put on whatever valve you like.
