OK, I now have some of the o-rings specified by Parker. But I am confused. I have three attachments that connect to this tractor via the four male ISO 7241B connection points. All three attachments connect and work well. However, when I compare the o-rings among the three, the o-rings are not...

Well, those dimensions were wrong. I pulled a good one for comparison and it is a hair thicker. Must be metric. I'll see if I can visually match it at the hardware store. Napa didn't have anything close.

Or Kubota LX2610's LA535 loader needs a new o-ring in the 1/4 in Parker 60 series female quick coupler. As far as I can tell, it is a 11/16 x 9/16 x 1/16 o-ring. Can anyone confirm this; most hydraulic sites don't list the actual dimensions. Thanks

The 5,000 PSI $15 Parker Ferulok 1/2" union is in place and holding. One end is near a bend and I'm not absolutely sure the pipe is bottomed out against the internal stop, but there are no leaks.

Ended up with a Parker Ferulok. Hope I can meet the exacting preparation standards they say these things say require.

Yes, and anti-galling lubricants. I have on hand some copper anti-seize and Permatex PTFE based sealant. Non-copper is recommended, but it says "stainless steel' on the bottle. I'll have to cut out about 1/2" of the steel tubing, and from drawings I think 2 fully inserted tubes only leaves a...

I'm heading for a swagelock 1/2" x 1/2" steel union.

Yes, I'm looking for 'high pressure' one as opposed to brass plumbing/fuel line ones.

I'll check NAPA for a better 1/2 x 1/2 compression union than a hardware store one.

If were just a pin hole, maybe, but there is a large scooped out area that the pin hole is in the middle of. I'm beginning to entertain the idea of a hardware store brass 1/2 x 1/2 compression union.

Still, JB Weld is probably not the answer!

I wondered about that. The oil more oozed continuously out of the pin hole rather that shot like a stream.

Thanks. I was wondering what type of pressure we were dealing with.

I have a Deere 755 compact tractor and there is a wear spot and a pin hole in a 5-ft steel suction (return?) line from the oil cooler, which is behind the radiator. The hole is roughly under the seat area and is accessible from underneath. It's fairy low, near a drive shaft protective sleeve. I...

Thanks for the diagram. Mystery solved. And my guess is that it was just too close to the chrome so they removed it from the design.
