Massey Ferguson hydraulic diverted valve

Having just removed the loader spool, the base of both the levers are badly corroded and will need replacing. It is a Vapormatic valve, the replacement part is VFH1000 (as image attached), but Vapormatic discontinued this part a year ago and it seems to be out of stock everywhere. Any ideas where I can find two of these? Thanks

A two spool block complete with levers with ½” ports will likely cost less than £150 while those two levers cost nearly £110. If the loader is needed for work rather soon, just get a new complete spool valve block and get back to work pronto.

Makes sense, thanks. I would not be confident about my ability to fit a new spool block, any recommendations for hydraulic experts around Cranbrook, Kent?

Should be a simple matter of swapping the pipes over together with unions while fitting new bonded seal replacements.

In the real world it is unlikely to be quite as simple as that sounds of course. But it should present no real challenge to any competent spanner man.
