FEL Fitting size / specification questions.

[quicksandfarmer]

I think your best bet is calling a Chinese tractor dealer like Ranchhand or Affordable Tractor in Texas and asking them.

But if you want to figure it out yourself, here is a guide to identifying hydraulic fittings:
https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/v/vspfiles/downloadables/thread_guide.pdf

The metric ones start on page 15. Note that for each fitting it lists a thread size and thread pitch -- ie M12x1.5. That's a 12mm diameter with 1.5 mm between threads. This is the same way that metric bolts sold at any hardware store are specified, and the sizes are the same as those of common metric bolts. So go to a hardware store and get yourself the following bolts:
M8x1.0
M10x1.0
M12x1.5
M14x1.5
M16x1.5

Be careful with the 8, 10 and 12 because they come in both 1.0 and 1.5 pitch. Take the fitting off, and see which bolt fits. That's your fitting size. If none of those bolts fit -- if it's 11mm for example-- you're back to dealing with the Chinese tractor dealers.

That 90 degree fitting you seek is part of a complete hose assembly which should be available through any Jinma tractor dealer.

Thank you Bob unfortunately no Jinma dealership around here, what I ended up doing yesterday is old school switch the in put hose with the out put because one would think the psi would be just a bit lower to control the minor drip leak... it worked slowed it down by a drip per every 5 minutes so I took a string inserted in between where I had the leak at no 2 a few turns and stop the drip for now until I get a permanent replacement all fitting to a local available brand because the last thing I want is a blow out in the winter and have to wait for parts so will gradually replace all thank you Bob for your help and everyone one helping... I said it before will say it again I could not have done all my repairs without the help from the members of this site... Rob

Rob,

I see you are in Ottawa area - do they have a Princess Auto in your area ? They sell the type of hydraulic fittings you need as also would a hydraulics shop in your area (we are also metric too here in Canada).
As far as dealer parts, you have been given a couple of good people to deal with in the US - Ronald at Ranchhand and Tommy at Affordable.
In Canada you should try Asian Tractor Parts in Ontario - I have found them good to deal with and they came through with parts for me when other Canadian companies could not. Their prices are very reasonable.

Jinma Tractor Parts - Foton Parts - FarmPro - Asian Tractor Parts

Don't get too carried away with rebuilding your tractor to local standards - very expensive and pointless as spare parts are available for the tractor you have. You just gotta look in the right places :thumbsup:

If you don't want to deal with US companies, try Asian Tractor Parts - they come well recommended.

HTH

Hello Doxford. you're right we do have a princess auto here in Ottawa and they don't have those fittings I even brought the hose with me and tried all there stock shelve fitting and none fit, as for dealing with US etc countries I don't have a problem with that at all Doxford my issue is e.g in the winter the tractor breaks down and no part available for one week plus that makes for a lot of shoveling snow by hand this is why as things break I will always explore to convert broken parts to a more local available stock. Doxford this why I'm searching and taken info from this site to have as much information as possible to have ready. thank you Doxford.

Good day all. just a quick FYI I found the 2 conversion fitting for my spool valve and works great the in put and out put size is 15MDL-8MJ / Metric Conversion Male DIN 24* Cone Light Series to Male JIC 37* Flare Thread {1}: M22 x 1.5 Thread {2}: 3/4"-16 ( $32.00 each )

I ordered the 4 others for future use is I get a leak.

What I'm not seeing in all these posts is a attempt to enlarge the cylinder ports to the nearest SAE oring or plain 'ol NPT. Okay you'd have to remove the valve and disassemble to get all the tap shavings out. But seems doable and cost effective to compare to a total replacement valve. The spool seals are what I'm needing for a TL-20 loader valve any help with those? I can't be the only one thinking of this. bjr

Good day BJR, on my end I used plumbing putty insert in the valve lined up with the release fitting made the new hole and no metal shaving got in the valve stayed on the putty I still used a 1/4 tube plugged on my mini vacuum and suck out anything that could have bypass the putty, for my valve because they are already at 15mm I would not want to increase the size and in my case it was good to go with the conversion fitting because now I could use the original hose to fit a standard valve if I find a good deal one day.

The only thing I have yet solved is the curl up power not as strong as the 3 other positions will check if I have air lock one day on the curl up position it works but I would judge at 75%.
