Hydraulic fitting size?

Teikas Dad · Apr 26, 2019

I recently purchased a pressure gauge from BXpanded to check my hydraulic pressure on my B3200. The manifold where the loader attaches is not in a really easy spot to see the gauge so I was going to get an 18" or so hydraulic line made up to allow me to move the gauge. I know nothing about the nomenclature for hydraulic fittings. Are all Kubota hydraulic connectors the same size for the FELs? If not, does anyone know the size and what I should ask for (is there a "type" name for the connectors?) to make sure the proper connectors are on the hose ends?

Thanks

If you can remove the male fitting from the gauge (which you probably can) have the new hose built with the proper male/female ends and put it back together. It is best to take both the gauge and male connector with you when having the hose made up and they will put the correct ends on the hose.

Without seeing or knowing what you bought it will be hard to advise.

Assuming you bought a gauge fitted with a quick disconnect that fits your tractor you should just need a hose.

Most gauges would come with a 1/4" npt male nipple. You might be able to get a hose from tractor supply and add a coupler or two to make it work.

My BX connectors are all stamped Parker 60. Per many post though it seem K uses various brands from tie to time. I put the gauge in a tee and a short hose each side with a M & F connector. Pop it in anyplace a power (P) line has Qs. I put it in the BH feed. Parker connectors are everywhere and not expensive.

Thanks all. I'll bring the gauge to the store with me to make sure things fit.

Try matching the profile of your quick disconnect connector with this handy connector type / size chart:

Thank you, I just printed that out last night and took a close look a minute ago. It looks like I've got Parker 60 1/4" connectors. I took a photo for posterity.....
