Premacon sells a hydraulic pump & valve block that many ppl have bought before. https://shop.premacon.com/index.php?cPath=35 The pump/motor originates from this guy https://www.modellhydraulik.com/ though I'm not sure if the rotatory valves are exclusive from Premacon or not.

Wow! Excellent work - details of tracks are really great, so I'm sure the rest of the machine will be exceptional.

Yes these are the ones I’ll be looking at getting when the time arrives. I’m not sure if I need to go for the 5mm fittings or the standard small 3mm yet or to have one value each for the front lift cylinders. Lots of thinking and work to do before then ! Was working on the tracks this weekend but I think I made a boo boo as the pads are now too close and rub so will have to order some more metal and rebend.
Thanks for a the kind comments so far
