Hydraulic Fittings For B3200?

[brsox88]

So I bought a skid steer style mount plow for my FEL, I also have the 3rd function valve so I can adjust the angle of the plow. But I have to come up with the hoses and fittings to plug into the 3rd function ports. What kind of female/male connectors do I need? I measured the current sizes of the hoses and fittings and seems it may be 1/2 NPT throughout?

I don't really know exactly what you're after. If you measured the fittings just google npt thread sizes or something similar, you should be able to come up with nominal dimensions of the hose end. Most fittings on 3/8 hoses will be -6 or -8 (-6 is 6/16 or 3/8, -8 is 8/16 or 1/2)

Or are you trying to ask what quick connector you need?

Yeah that is what I was trying to ask, I need to know what male/female quick connectors I need?

You can downlaod thread/fitting charts from several places...here are a couple (download the .pdf's)

Im sorry im not sure which would be on that tractor. Is there a quick connector on the end of your tractor side hoses already and you're trying to find the mating connectors to those to connect it to your plow? If so you could take one off and head on down to the hardware store or tractor supply and match them up, of course you'll need to keep in mind the thread size of your plow fittings as well. Most quick connects I've ran across are pretty standard (ISO 5675 is pretty standardized for agricultural applications..)

I always switch my quick connectors around as well. What I mean is i'll have one quick connect coupler on the tractor and the other on the plow, the other two fittings go on the remaining fittings. This way you the same hose always gets hooked up and not reversed. This may not be a big deal for you going left and right, but for something like a grapple you usually want the valve to actuate the way you are using the valve (pull back is open, push down is closed....)

It's difficult to say exactly what you have without examining your couplers, but the 1/2" ISO 5675 Agricultural Interchange couplers are on most tractors and farm implements.

If you want to measure you coupler against some examples to be sure, you can print out the size chart here. Be sure to set the scaling on your printer to "none"

So here are some pictures I grabbed last night of the connectors my FEL is using. Wouldn't most all kubotas use the same connectors? And I realized, the 3rd function valve kit is a WR Long aftermarket, so does anyone know what connectors that kit uses?

 

[puckgrinder85]

Well just going by your pictures, I went on the WR long website and found a picture that looks very similar, no other valves on their "spare parts" page look like yours. Yours look like a push to connect fitting with the ramped ring on it. The standard 5675? I don't think are like that, you have to slide the coupler open to connect them. Anyway, here is the page.

That's about the best I can do, maybe call them as I don't know what type of coupler that is as there are quite a few different styles..
