Help, How do you mount hyrdaulic couplers on a rear bracket?

[tooldad8712]

I have yet to fabricate, but am adding a 3rd set of hydraulics to my x700 for a rear blade lift. How do you mount a set of couplers? Or is there a coupler bracket? The JD mechanic showed me it was simply a L bracket with appropriate sized holes. How do you actually mount the couplers? I have yet to buy the couplers, is there a certain type to get?

Any advice, photos, links would be helpful.

Thanks!

The best way is to use a bulkhead fitting that has a nut to tighten against the bracket. Sometimes you can get lucky and trap the bracket between regular fittings.

I got the clamps from Parker, here's the link.

I've had no problems with them at all...

There are also special QC's that disconnect when pulled on, such as if you forget to uncouple before driving away.

I saw those on your setup. However the link is not active. Maybe I can do a part # search?

thanks!

This one should work. Once you know what size you need (OD of the QC body) any Parker dealer should be able to order them for you if they don't have them in stock.

G'day have a look on the bare co site under hydraulics there you will find three different assemblies

I've seen couplers sold by John Deere that have grooves on the body for snap rings. One ring on each side of the bracket.
