This is from an older thread where someone replace the original Energy control valve with a Speeco one....

"So the new Speeco control valve came and its identical. I am very pleased with it so far. It even looks like a better quality, raw casting is much better than the original Energy brand.
The only thing was that the valve spool assembly was inverted for my splitter. All I had to do was take it apart and reassemble it the other way. Its installed and ready for new hydraulic fluid."

I was wondering...

1) How difficult was it to invert the valve spool assembly on the Speeco control valve?

2) How difficult was it to install the Speeco once that was done?

3) Does it need to be adjusted for pressure??


Any advice would be great appreciated.
