Eastern ND | Go talk to Your local hose maker. He can set You up, and maybe He can get a bigger discount if You also buy all Your replacement fittings and hose. It also helps that He may carry those odd fittings that You don't, or can't afford to carry in Your own supply. No matter how many fittings You have on hand, there will always be one that You don't have, and at that time it is good to be able to get it fast.
The most common ones I use are the JIC 6-6 male and female, 3/8 hose X 3/8 JIC. Use 20:1 of those, so that and the male "O" ring style end to attach to ISO hyd tips to. Also, new hyd tips that plu in to Your tractor, I keep 15-20 on hand, funny how many leaky tractor outlets are caused by the hose tips. Also, JIC caps and plugs to shut off leaks, and keep dirt out of cylinders and hoses, really help sometimes. Also, pipe to JIC adapters, JIC to JIC male X male and female X female are very handy sometimes if You accidently make a hose 2' too short. Don't ask how I know! | |
