Yes. There is a flat O-ring next to the round O-ring. Both are black.
Since I am a fish out of water on hydraulics, I look forward to your future posts.

Received NIMCO part number 10142 today (Unload Cavity Plug Asm, CV550 10141 w/orings) Ordered from oilair.com for $15.15 + shipping. They promptly answered my emails. Call 763-478-8744 and ask for sales.
Before I posted, I had sent an email to salesusa@nimco.se which was returned by Yahoo. After searching the web I decided I would ask Bob Rooks before going to Nimco distributors because of the price he quoted.
Called Nimco at (262) 884-0950 and was told they do not sell direct and was referred to their distributor IFP North at (763) 252-1181. Called this number and was told that the man I wanted to talk to was on the phone so I left a message with the keywords Nimco CV556 and power beyond cartridge part number 10142.
Here I sit with CC in hand and no call back. Guess it is back to emailing Nimco's USA distributors. Nobody said this would be easy.
Yes…..I tried to find a supplier of this part but could not. Do you remember where you purchased your power beyond cartridge?
Info from “old forum”
Bob,
My manual (Edition 4/2007) has a Nimco CV556 valve parts list and the valve casting has the name NIMCO on it so I assume we have the same valve. I also see that the valve is piped JD style but can be changed to Cat Style whatever that means.

Bob,
I do a lot of clearing fence line due to years of neglect (had to work for money). That is also why I purchased the dozer. I have at least eight chainsaws from an electric pole saw up to a Husqvarna 395XP with 42″ bar. My wife bought me a Stihl pole saw which I returned because I did not want another spark plug that just sits around doing nothing. Generator and extension chord works for me. My first chainsaw was an Echo Super which I used and abused until the nut came off the flywheel and broke a number of cooling fins. It was cheaper to buy a new saw, so I purchased a Husqvarna Rancher 55. I also purchased a cheap Poulan for a small saw thinking when it quits I would just toss it and buy another. After another two Poulans I wised up and went to a small Husqvarna. I have had to learn to rebuild carbs but that is not hard to do. Just like tractors, parts is an issue so I will now only buy a Stihl or Husqvarna and it is usually a Husqvarna because of price. Most shops sell Stihl but the CDF in our area use Husqvarna.
I can not recommend a small chainsaw because everything is changing so fast. I am not sure but the small Husqvarna MAY be made by the same people that make the Poulan. A site to check out is the Forestry Forum for a recommendation. I also purchase supplies from Bailey's Online.
On the small chainsaws I use a 16″ bar, mid size chainsaw a 24″ bar and large chainsaw a 36″ bar. I do not use safety chain and for the mid size and larger have gone to skip tooth chain. For the Alaskan mill I use ripping chain. The large chainsaws are used only for milling and cutting eucalyptus trees. Some of the eucalyptus trees I have had to cut both sides and it was close to a 36″ bar not being long enough. The mid size chainsaws I use for firewood and my Mini-Mill setup. The small chainsaws with 16″ bars get the most use.
Hopes this helps. Phil
I had a new road put in on the side of a steep hill many years ago. The man who did it had experience building logging roads and his tractor was a steel track Case with 4in1 bucket (not that big). Watching him work made me realize that knowledge and experience is everything. He was fast and if he needed to adjust his angle he could sling dirt like I have never seen. My opinion… bigger is not always better.
