Loader 1246 FEL hydraulic fittings - US or metric?

[jpat34721]

I need to replace some hoses on my MF1246 FEL. There's not much clearance between the protective bracket and the fitting so I can't get a wrench fully onto the fitting. My 1" wrench fells a bit sloppy and I don't want to lean on it until I'm sure it's the right size. It could be 25mm but I don't have that wrench. Does anyone know if these fittings are US or metric?

Thanks,

Jeff

If it's on the loader itself, it's standard. If it's on the tractor it would be metric.

Ditto-- I was surprised last year, when I lost a couple of hoses on my 2310 tractor- turned out they were both standard (US) fittings.

Just took them to a local hydraulic shop and had new ones made up on the spot.
