HUSCO auxillary valve controller - Mccormick xtx 165

[Norwayhay]

My CANBUS valve controller is playing up on my 2011 Mccormick XTX165 T3.

My local dealer is unable to provide me with a new one, claiming he can only sell me a complete hydraulic spoolpack at a ridiculous price. Apparently they used to sell these as spare parts, but they are no longer available.
I only need the the valve controller, a tiny little part labled HUSCO. It basically tranform the signal from the tractor to to the hydraulic valve, and is mounted directly at the back of each valveblock.

Anyone got a clue where I can get my hands on one of these controllers?

Husco are very difficult people to deal with! I got absolutely no where when i wanted a Husco part for a machine, i didnt have the option of going back the machine manufacture because they went bust! In the end i made 1 good unit out of 3!

Great

I even got the Mccormick part number: 715163a1 - but where to buy it....

There is a mccormick expert on here who runs a fair few, @McCman I think.

Hi, yes I have been there with this problem myself. No longer available from McCormick and Husco are not helpful. we ended up with new spool slices as we did have other issues with them too but they were extortionate prices. we were told that the Agco challengers used the same controllers and they were also very unreliable but didn't get anywhere trying to get hold of any through Agco either but its maybe worth looking into. They do need programming in via a laptop once fitted also.

Thanks - they wanted 5000£ for a new spool slice - three spools are still working, and I think I can live with that

What about trying David king electronics? I know he can rebuild nh valve blocks from word of my local dealer.

@john432 mabe be fit to help as uv got the part number

Thanks to @McCman tips, iv'e discovered that theese valvepacks are called HUSCO 1600 / 1600e, and used on the Challenger MT900 as well as some of the Mccormick XTX series - but as noted, if buying directly from a hydraulicsdealer, they will need programming.
Still haven't sourced them though
