Help with hydraulic fitting

Dan_Shade · June 25, 2021, 07:08:04 PM

I "upgraded" the disconnect on my LT-40 several years ago, and just bought another tank. I'd like to find another of these adapters.

I can't find what it is in my files...

I know them as a quick connect fitting.

Amazon.com : hydraulic quick connect

I'm hoping someone may know the brand and/or style so that I can find a mating one.

The o-rings are different in these from the others that I looked at.

I've attached the parts you've shown from woodmizer for the LT40 Super/70 Super plastic diesel tanks.
The second one item 5 is the female that connects to the hose. The first one item 4 goes into the tank.
The first number for each is the wwomizer part number.

Are the ones on the diesel engines metal?

I swapped out the factory ones because they would get stuck.

What I have is way better, I just don't know what I have. :

Just figure out your pipe thread size and buy a new quick disconnect at a farm store.

They look exactly like the parts you showed in your post above. I've been using these for about 20 years now and they don't get stuck.

Thanks, that's probably what I have...

You can also get those quick disconnect fittings from places that sell boating supplies!

I've had good success taking a fitting or hose to a place that specializes in hydraulics and universal joints. They seem to be able to match up anything.
For hydraulic couplers by far I prefer flat face couplers, they just work far better than what you get at most farm equipment dealers, unless they are also Bobcat dealers. I own nothing made by Bobcat, but their couplers excell.

In fact I just added hydraulics to the thumb on my excavator. I just removed a hose in the circuit I'm tapping into and a hose where it attaches to the excavator. Turned out a good thing, the machine had both SAE and Metric connections, I didn't realize that when I started. Everything now is SAE except the connections where it taps into the excavator, those have metric ends on the hoses that tie into the excavator hydraulics.
Now I just need to wait 1 more day, until a fuse holder arrives tomorrow.
My excavator will then have one valve that can do either of 2 functions as needed. It has an electric solenoid valve, to switch between boom offset and hydraulic thumb.
The hydraulics place knew exactly what I needed when I showed them the parts I had and told then how long each of the hoses needed to be. They made them to fit my equipment.
