Dust caps for hydralic lines

[jstern]

Does anyone know where I can puchase 3/8 dust caps for the quick disconects on my 210TL New Holland FEL. My dealer wants $65 for the color coded set. This is a brand new loader and they are telling me that they are no lnger included. **** I could machine them out of Titanium for less, but unfortunatly I can't blowmold plastic.

My local NAPA store said they could get them. I just say a set of 12 color coded ones on eBay for $29.99. Look around, I expect you can find them cheaper.

Try TSC. I have purchased 1/2" black and blue dust caps and plugs made by Pioneer for $3.99 a set. Not sure if they stock 3/8" but it's worth a try. They are not an online sales product but they will at the store order them in for you.

Maybe NAPA or an autoparts store that builds hoses.

I've ordered fittings from (this) outfit a few times. I've seen dust caps out there as well. $20 minimum order if I remember right.

I just purchased a T1520 with a 110TL loader. All dust caps were included. When you spend that much money on a tractor from a world class company there is a reason. Sounds like the dealer is not being fair.

Mine came with dust caps but all black. Bobcat uses color coded nylon zip ties behind each coupler set. That way if you tear dust cap off you just buy another standard black one.

You might check your nearest Northern Tool & Equip store.

EDIT: I have found that my "female end" dust caps do not stay covered. When there is a bit of oil in the plug (and there always is) the covers pop right out. If you want a permanent solution, go to Surplus Center or some other cheap source and buy male 3/8" pioneer connectors. Put a plug in them and then just plug them in instead of the plastic covers. You can paint the connectors or put colored ID tape around the lines to make matching easy also.

Smart Farmer has them. 3/8 or 1/2 a pack of 12 in six colors for $30.
