Dell, what do you think of this coupler... should be easy to find an adapter to install a gauge on it.

So you attached it directly to one of the FEL lines? If so, which one and where?
i unscrewed the fitting with the white washer on it an attached my pressure test line. Then capped off the line I took off. The fitting you will take out will have a o ring seal on it.

Guy`s,
dosen`t the BX23S only have one hydraulic pump that runs the entire tractor...??? Is there any reason you couldn't test the pressure at the rear couplers that run the backhoe...??? Seems like its alot easier to test it there, and no manifold to worry about like the FEL has. I`ll get some pictures of the couplers, male & female ends and post them in here, there ARE parker part numbers stamped right in the couplers. As for the front loader manifold/couplers, i dont see any part numbers anywhere for just the couplers, they do say MADE IN INDIA though. Somebody somewhere has to have these flat faced couplers available. I dunno, maybe i`m not thinkin this thru to well... but its worth a shot.
Ok, i was not able to load the pictures of the couplers from my BX23S, but the coupler part numbers are:
I took these numbers right off the couplers at the backhoe, where the 3point hitch top mount is located.

FEM-252-4FP-1076 (Male End)
PARKER
FEM-251-4FP-NL-1071 (Female End)
They look to be either 1/4 or 3/8 pipe threading (???) but i`m not good at guessing pipe thread sizes to well, unless they`re bolts...lol.
Anyways.... thoughts....?????
Found some couplers... better off getting the male end, its half the price of the female end (Go figure, females always cost more...lol)

I don't understand why these links to Trausch Dynamics don't link right to the product but seem to always go back to the menu.
Yeah whats up with that, i just tried it, same problem here.
Well at least i posted a couple other links that takes you to the correct couplers at ZORO. com (see post #16)
Gall dangggggg, that female coupler is pricey....!!!!!! The male coupler is almost half the price.

I could be totally wrong about this, but my guess the flow goes from the male connector to the female. Therefore, you would need to get the female connector and use that for the tester? I wonder if the female connector could also be used for the front? I would hate to think that Kubota used different connectors on the tractor.... but you never know.
I just hope that someone soon figures this out and lets the rest of us know! haha

Tractor Dell, I notice that the gauge you mentioned in the first post goes to 3000 psi. What pressures are you expecting to see?
