Husco Valves

Husco valves are one of our top most repaired valves.  Not because Husco makes a bad valve!  We repair more Husco valves than anything else primarily because there are so many husco valves out there.

(Similarly, I'm sure there were more Caterpillar and Komatsu valve failures in the last 12 months than Hitachi valves...  The population of CAT and Komatsu valves is several times that of Hitachi.  We are talking about the number of valve failures, not as a percentage.)

Rebuild Kit for Hydraulic Control Valve

We have received several requests lately for rebuild kits for Husco, Hydreco, Cessna, Commercial and other valve manufacturers.

Unfortunately, there are no rebuild kits available at this time, that we know of.

However, if your spools are in good shape, we can usually assist you in finding the seals, springs and any other parts needed to rebuild your valves.  Some manufacturers are faster to get information back to us than others but we will work as hard as we can to get you the information you need.

If you are familar with a rebuild kit that we haven't found yet, please let us know and we will post it.

Replacement Springs for Hydraulic Control Valve

Inside almost all hydraulic control valves, there are springs that bring the spools back to their original position.  When these springs are damaged, rusted or worn out, they do not bring the spool back to first position as designed.

To correct this problem, we can do one of 2 things:

Find Replacement Springs:

Hydreco, Husco, Commercial, Cessna, Komastu and other valve manufacturers usually have replacement springs available.  We can help find these for you if we don't have them in stock.

New Springs for Out of Production Valves:

If your valve is no longer supported by the OEM, we can have new springs built for you, as long as there is one good sample or detailed specs available.

Here are some VERY rusted springs from a valve we just got in.  Not sure if we will be able to clean up or not.  We will post a full rundown of this job in our Recent Valve Rebuild section.
