7308 FEL Quick Disconnect Size?

F_22 · Feb 20, 2004

Anybody know what the nominal size of the quick disconnects on the 7308 loader are? I'm making a pressure gauge setup. I bought a 3/8" at northerntool cause it looks like the right size but the male end won't quite fit in the female on the tractor. Could it be 1/4" or are there different styles like with pneumatic couplers?

Ah, I can't find the Pioneer web page right now, but here is a sampling of their products:

There are a dozen or so different tip types; some are compatable, some are not. You need to look at your coupler & you will find the number stamped on it, and find a cross compatable type. NH generally uses types compatable with universal, or standard, Pioneer type, but you never know, & don't know what you woulda got from the store?

I bought one at the local hydraulic shop. It was a male ISO 7241-1 Series A, 3/8" NPTF. It worked like a charm. If it's not a series A it won't fit.

Thee is a huge difference between a 1/4 NPT and 3/8 NPT connectors. Sitting side by side, the 3/8 is significantly larger. You probably will need a 3/8 NPT male coupler.
