Making a replacement valve for a two speed gear motor | Parker PGM
The customer couldn't get this product from Parker, as Parker was unable to supply. They had a third party supplier, and it was discontinued. Lifco made the part that was discontinued by taking pieces from other motors we had here in stock.

A Lifco engineer, John, was able to create drawing and reproduce the two speed motor from other units we had in stock.
