I'm debating changing the valves now vs. waiting to see whether they are leaking from the top now that the hydro unit is is clean and new gaskets are in place.

what are the advantages of the "automatic" valves (not that I care since the tractor will likely outlive me, perhaps by decades since my wife doesn't much appreciate "my baby" and I suspect our coroner will be on the property any day now)?
are the automatic valves sized the same as the manual valves on a 1250 or do I need to explain the application to LJ Fluid?
