I have got the diverter fittings figured out I think along with the hose. Using 3/8 hose and 3/8-1/2" adapters for use with 1/2 ag quick connects on the loader end. What I'm trying to figure out is the stock size and fitting type. I have sae on the factory quick connects. I'll be modifying the plate to secure the diverter valve. The input for the diverter will be on the bottom and also holding the diverter down. I can't figure out what the fittings are. I called the dealer and they had no idea. The factory hole is 7/8" and the diverter fitting is sae 8 I think.

I'm sure this is clear as mud but the bottom will be the input from my tractor. The top will feed the curl and left side will be for the grapple. I have all the 90s and other fittings taken care of.

hydraulic fittings come in a few configs you have npt which is pipe. jic which has a 37 degree taper or boss oring these are fairly standard but you could have a metric fitting or john deere flat faced. looking at pics I can't tell what you want id try to take pics and give as much info as you can
