Cleaned up the existing spool valve in preparation for removal and replacement.
Sorry the picture is sideways. Not sure how to fix that.
Also removed the lift lever and actuator arm. Made a second actuator arm for the other spool in the dual-spool valve. It's not the exact same shape, but it's close enough to work I think. Did not have 1/4 inch bar, so I used 3/16 inch. Seems the like it should be strong enough? Or am I being overly optimistic?
Will drill the hole and cut the slot once I get the tubing so I know the correct size (tubing supposed to be 5/8 OD I think). I may need to step up to a wider bar (do have some 1/4 by 2 inch bar) to allow enough meat around a 5/8 inch hole. I'll see then make a call. I can cut the 2 inch wide bar down to 1-1/4 for example. then bend as needed.
Ordered new front tires. Still waiting on the new valve.
