How do I put new gears in a teledepth hydraulic valve?

I have a farmall 460, and the hydraulic valve for the 2pt hitch started leaking. So I took it apart and put a new gasket in it. But 2 of the 3 gears in the valve assembly were stripped. I took the old gears out and bought some new ones, but I need to know how to install them so that the teledepth will work properly. I tried putting the gears in a few different ways, but it either won't work at all (the 2pt won't move) or it won't move unless I manually pull on the linkage connecting to the other side of the valve.

Does anyone know how to properly reassemble a teledepth 2pt valve? Thanks guys!
 
No one is answering, so I'll take a stab at trying to remember how the gears line up. We had to replace a stripped gear on that tele-depth hydraulic valve on our 560--probably the same set-up as 460.
This is from memory--had the drawbar on a jack about midway between full up & down. Then just eyballed the gears into place with the valve gear kind of centered.
I don't believe there are "timing" marks on the gears to get them in register. Don't know if the I&T manual has anything on this or not.
 
The I&T manual has the instructions for assembly of the valve. The gears and the yoke are set in a neutral position and the input and follow-up levers are set to specific angles from vertical. I've done this on a 340 but don't know if the angles are the same for a 460. On the 340 it also depends on whether the cable or rod system is used for the teledepth valve. On the 340, the axis of the yoke and gears is parallel to the cover surface; the input lever is set to 7 1/2 deg. to the rear from vertical; the follow-up lever is set to 6 deg. to the front, from vertical. Hope this helps.
 
I've got the IT-25 manual but I'm not sure I can explain it. Some gears have index marks to line up and the early ones don't have the marks and you have to make your own when taking it apart. It also depends on if you have cable or rod linkage which may need to be readjusted.
