Valve Guide, American Pneumatic Tool part number 1280583440, which replaced the older number 00197, listed at Crowder Supply as APT197. It directs the flow that reverses the piston in the clay digger. Valve wear changes port timing, and the machine loses blow rate before it loses the ability to run.
It is called out in the parts diagram for the 118 Clay Digger and 119 Trench Digger, and on 1 other machine. That machine is the APT 117 Pneumatic Paving Breaker if you are pricing a replacement rather than a repair. Worth matching the reference number on the diagram against your own machine before you order the same part number can sit in more than one position.
Work through the rest of the assembly on the same breakdown, or start over from the parts diagram hub. It ships out of Denver, same day on in-stock orders placed before 4 PM ET.
