B7800 Hydraulic Return Line fitting question

[tamarack]

I am hoping that one of the members that have a B7800 and that has installed rear remotes would be able to tell me what tee fitting I would need for the return line to the tank. I called my dealer today and unfortunately they were no help. I would like to purchase the fitting in advance of installing the rear remotes. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

I did exactly what you want to do with my B-7800.
I solved it by ordering the Kubota part, you will need another anyway. That part gave me both thread sizes. The part is Kubota #75582-66810-Adapter. I can tell you that is a 3/8 Male NPT to 1/2 Male JIC adapter.
It is on this page on Discount Hydraulic Hose if you want a generic part..

Steel Fittings: JIC 37? Male x NPTF Male Pipe

The part # is 2404-08-06

Then you need a street tee..

Street Tee (Pipe)

The part # is 5602-06-06-06

You can now run 1/2 inch return hose to the tank as Kubota does, or by use of a different fitting for the remotes, a 3/8 if youd like.

Hope this helps..

What a great group of people on TractorbyNet. That is exactly the information that I needed. Thank you BlacknTan

I'm glad I could help tamarack, but the late Mad Referee deserves all the credit..
I studied all his threads on remote hydraulics, and took much of his advice which was right on!

We still suffer his loss...

If you haven't order yet, take alook at 6602-06-06 and 2404L-06-06. The 2404L well get you past a rod or pipe that is right there. Can't remember if it was a pipe or line, just remember there was something. With all JIC fitting makes it easy to get every thing tight.
