It is time to to replace the hydraulic hose to the factory thumb on our M59. Any hints gratefully accepted.
Does anyone know the fitting size and type? I'd like to get some end caps just to keep things clean.

I assume the fittings are JIC, but the manuals don't say which or dash size. The basic backhoe for the M59 is the BT1200 - although it becomes a BT1200v when the thumb is factory installed.

Thanks,
rScotty

On the densely populated east coast there is a dense population of hydraulic machinery that supports a dense population of repair shops. Within 5 miles of me there is a Hope Group (Formerly Parker) that will make new hose with fittings while one waits. Some equipment operator, like the local highway department, may know or recommend the closest such shop to you even in rural CO. The premium for fast service and the cost of travel may still be economic.

Get out your calipers, thread gauges and measure it. The easiest to measure are the male ends. The hose itself may give a clue as well--The metal crimp sleeves sometimes have part numbers stamped in them.
