    The "attachment" section of the control valve is an accessory, so some machines will have it, others will not - it all depends how the machine was originally ordered. Without a Serial Number it's impossible to tell for sure. If you already have the machine how many sections does the main control valve have..?

    1989 e70b is the main control valve next to the pump behind the access door ? the machine is set up for a hammer with pedel on floor does that mean it has the attachment section?

    No idea, but this is what the Parts Manual says it should look like. This is a generic illustration and what's on your machine may not be exactly like what's shown below.

    To have a control for an attachment (e.g. a thumb) on the machine you would need 4 sections on each side of the wide section in the middle.
