Replacement for a Nimco Controls 14460-2s

It IS an "off the shelf" item. You're simply over complicating it. Get away from Nimco numbers, look for something that fits, and go with it. People do this very thing every day. Personally I prefer components with O ring ports but that's not mandatory for anyone. We're guessing at this point that your current valve has O ring ports but until you actually remove one to confirm that you still don't know for sure. Most likely you can find a replacement valve with the same size/style ports, PROBABLY reuse the existing fittings and only need one or maybe two slightly longer hoses. Most likely not even that.

Thanks. I am a complete newbie on this. Both of the local hydraulic shops I was talking to were talking about ordering. I will look for something from Summit Hydraulics. I can order through Amazon. I am up in Canada and we don't have the shipping choices now with the trade wars going on. Amazon is the simplest. If I have Fedex or UPS bring it in it will cost 100 just to clear customs.

A quick look at Amazon shows at least a dozen different units, many of which would suit your needs, all in the $100 to $150 range. Many with #8 and #10 O ring ports. You're running out of excuses.

No excuses. It is simply a lack of knowledge. It might be simple to you but to me it is a completely new area of knowledge with no experience in it at all. No one wants to make a mistake, put the wrong valve or hook it up wrong and break something. Now you may say that is not possible but I don't know that and so I am trying to be safe. It is a matter of piecing it together and understanding what I have and how it is plumbed.

I have now done that. I looked at the schematic for the CV112 and read the documentation and now know which port is power beyond and the sizes of all the ports. Now I can look for a valve that suites.

I will update here with what valve I eventually go with so that people who come across this trail can just put it together.

If you've followed the existing lines, you know which lines go where on the tractor. (pressure in, power beyond, sump return) Those are the only critical ones. The four lines to the cylinders can be swapped back and forth endlessly until you get them right with no harm done. The only true obstacle is that any valve you find will have a different mounting bolt pattern so the mount will need (at least) one more bolt hole, possibly more work depending on various factors.

Looking at your first picture, just what is broken where?
It looks to me like all you may need is the pin that goes from the bottom of the joy stick into the right hand valve spool. Just replace it with a button head bolt.

The valve jams. It works but it does not return from a bucket jump

Does it jamb because the actuator is broken or is the actual spool hanging up. In your picture it looks like the actuator is binding. and the pivot pin may be bent or broken

Spool is hanging up. The valve works but when you go to twist open the bucket it sticks in that position and you need to physically pull it back to center. Up and down of loader arms is fine.

You might try loosening or even removing the cover on the back of the valve spool. It's not unheard of for the centering springs in there to get gummed up and not operate properly.
