    Where can I find nozzle covers for my quick disconnect hoses

    I have a Kubota BX1500. One of the nozzle covers on the FEL quick disconnects has become lost. Are there any nozzle covers out there that I can purchase that do not require me to remove the nozzle? How do they attach so i will not lose them when using FEL?
