wood splitter hydraulic valve

Really old thread, but I just lost one of the smaller (of the 4 bearings). Any idea how to get a replacement? Thanks

I ended up buying an assorted kit of bearings for bikes on Amazon. I think 7/32 is right based on the earlier messages.

I too have a Troybilt LS27. The detent needs to be adjusted but I don't know which screw or bolt to adjust. When I move the handle to reverse, the valve doesn't return automatically to neutral and as a result, I just shattered the couplings.

Anyone have any insight? I don't know the make of the pump either but will look again in the morning.

Well IDK which is which on yours, but one of them Is the Hyd pressure and the other the detent so be careful. How about look up the owner's manual online for that model ? I bet if you post a clear pic of the valve, one of these guys will know which one it is.

A true story about lost bearings. Many years ago, a good friend of mine was rebuilding a Muncie 4speed transmission in his yard. As poor as he was back then, neither he nor I had a shop to work in. He had everything torn apart laid out on a piece of cardboard on the ground. He also had a bunch of chickens that ran loose around his place. Chicken came up to where he was working and pecked up one of those needle bearings that goes inside the main shaft to support the tail shaft. Not having any money, not getting that needle bearing back meant not fixing his transmission. He chased that chicken around the yard half a day waiting for it to pop out that bearing. He did get the bearing back and finished rebuilding his transmission. I always thought it was funny, but It goes to show that if you really need something, you will look hard enough to find it.

I feel there is a wise new saying somewhere in that!

Check your local hardware store. Ours carries a good assortment. It's an Ace.

Well you figure it out and I will gladly quote it.

I bought a detent ball that was supposedly an OEM size for my Prince valve. But I could not get the assembly containing the ball to come out. I ended up just buying a new valve. The right-angle pipe fittings on the old valve were tightened so tight that I had to use a 3' long cheater bar on my wrench and had to apply most of my 200 lb body weight. The mounting bracket for the valve started to bend, so I jammed a 2x4 under the bracket to stop the bending. Finally got it off, though. No damage to my wrench!
