I've made a big mistake changing power steering hose from pump to controller. Four hoses feed bottom of controller making things very tight. The line affected is on left, closest to seat. I mistakenly removed the bulkhead fitting connected to the hose that is part of the controller. A small metal piece fell out of controller resembling the end of a key, with small 'y' on one end. Other things may have come out, but that was all I found, no spring or ball. The bulkhead fitting has about 3" of pipe that goes into controller. With a 50/50 chance, I reinstalled it with 'y' up? Of course, no power steering. Anybody out there have knowledge of steering controller internals. Got nothing from dealer or Kubota.
