THEY ALSO SAID NO OTHER CONTROL VALVES CAN BE RETROFITTED

Sounds to me like they want to sell you a new machine. There is nothing too special about the control in a 371.
It sounds like you have a Husco sectional control. According to the online parts catalog (http://landing.bobcat.com/parts/ and click "Parts Catalog"), there are still some parts available. Here is Husco's website:

Worse comes to worse, check out the Surplus Center for a replacement control:

Thank you so much for your help , I'm going to work on it this weekend . I'll let you know if I find anything, thank you again, you may have saved the day! I did have one guy tell me to get a spec sheet on the valve and he might be able to fabricate a brand new one for me , but I think it was a long shot. I'm going to go down your path first!

THE MJACHINE DOES BURN ALOT OF GAS DIESEL IS BETTER I HAVE ONE BURNS GAS LIKE NO TOMAROW
We have had one for over 30 years and it is not a gas hog. Would like to find a source for reasonable price parts. A hydraulic shop should be able to help you

The hi lo range pulley has separated so only have hi range right now. Works fine if you are used to it. Would be nice to have have both speeds.

Check this website. One of these might work for you.

Get the part number and Google it. You should be able to find a used part online. I have a 642 and the pump blew. Bobcat said the same thing to me and I found a pump online that is working perfectly.
