Anyone know what size quick connector the Power Beyond on my 2520 is? I've got a Buyers 60006 3/8" connector that nearly fits but is just a hair too large - is it just a different QC style, do I just have to push harder or is there something between 3/8" and the too small 1/4" (perhaps metric) that I'm missing? On the plus side, I've discovered that the FEL connectors are 1/4" and the Buyers 60005 seems compatible with them :)

I do not know the specifics of your model. I got no help from the dealer when trying to hook up non JD stuff. I ended up learing quite a bit about quick couplers. There is no uniform standard. Each MFG makes there own. Parker makes different lines depending on allowed fluid escape, corrosiveness,pressure ranges and price ranges. Skid steers are finally coming around to a standard quick connect ( flat face style). No help for us yet. Depending on the need JD will source the parts from whoever. Pioneer, parker, etc. My JD happens to use parker type 60 quick disconnects on the rear remotes ( 63-T3 ) and 1/2" pioneer on the power beyond. I was lucky that there is a Parker store nearby. I took the couplings in and they identified them, very usefull shop. They have a catalog on thier website if you dig around. Good knowledagble hydraulic parts/stores people are hard to find. The auto parts place that does hydraulic hoses is usually lost past hooking up a plow to a pickup truck. I have not had to depend non knowledable JD dealership. Good luck-your JD dealer may have some talent behind the counter. I would have paid the JD premium if they knew what was up and how to do hydraulic work outside the parts book.

Thanks. Believe it or not that helped a lot, on the QC I found a Parker 60 Series etching so I believe it to be a Parker 3/8" QC and the Buyers won't fit because it's a different style. I love industries where every company is different rather than using interchangeable parts... Thanks again, now I'm off to find a good source for Parker QCs.

Edit: Glad I checked, the 1/4" connectors are Pioneer. Even though they may be the same as the Buyers maybe I'll swap those out too. Silly me for thinking they'd use the same type of QC on two factory-installed accessories on the same tractor... :)
