Ok looks nice lots of work involved there!

What are the fittings called that you used to mount the couplers to your new brackets. I need a couple of those for my grapple connectors and I didn't know what to get. Did you get them from Surplus Supply also?

Ok so you just used NPT to hose fittings and then used oversized washers to take up the space on the threaded area?

Yes I did>

Hear I thought you had found some fancy sort of fitting. But that was a good idea!

They are called "bulkhead fittings" or "couplings". SC does not sell them, but DHH does: Bulkhead Couplings > Discount Hydraulic Hose.com

But nothing wrong with making your own, nice job Tom!

Tom, why did you choose to mount the valve on the left side? Seems like it would be very inconvenient to use that way since the loader joystick is on the right and you would be steering with your left hand while operating the loader.
