I bet you never thought that adding a grapple would further your education in such a short time, huh? Good luck with the hunt. Yours is one of the first threads I look for when I come online, due to the "humor", and the ongoing discussion between you and Dougster. Poor guy, he would probably trade you some canned goods and a lifetime supply of peanut butter and crackers for your tractor.

Dang straight! In a New York minute! No dented cans either... and name brand peanut butter too!

Like a vulture circling... I am just waiting for the right moment in Curly's *funny-but-frustrating* adventures to swoop in for the kill!

I pretend to be helping, of course... but it's all part of a mad plot to buy that magnificent beast of a tractor he owns for short money!

You need to figure out the brand and/or supplier of that 3rd function valve. It could make your life much easier!

Dougster

The connectors are from WRLong, which is what it's connecting to. Is that what you mean. These are the connectors I recently ordered. No sure about a valve, is that the thing further up the fel that has hoses connected to it that lead to these connectors?

I saw this the other day maybe here can't remember. But if you got to the DHH site they have good pictures once you have a feel for the type and I think yours is a bulkhead jic 37d on one side male pipe on the other . This attachment may help you with sizes. Could be metric of course, in which case you are truly in trouble. But I think not. If I had to guess I would say 1/4 MPT or 3/8 MPT and corrosponding 37d JIC on the other end.

Clearly, if W.R. Long supplied the "kit", they should know exactly what parts they supplied and should be able to supply you with a parts list & parts diagram(s) via email. Maybe even installation instructions as well, which might also help.

Why guess when you can know exactly what you need directly from the horse's mouth?

It is probably listed on the parts list/installation instructions, but if he is like me (and possibly the rest of us), he probably threw that away.

Well, the kit (if he did it that way) was done by the original owner, or he paid someone. So, no instructions there...but you're right, I woulda thrown them away anyhow

By kit. do you mean valve, connectors hoses etc?

Well, the original kit (if it was done that way) had those weird connectors on it...the ones that would not connect to the WRLong connectors that were on the WRLong grapple. That's why I ended up buying a new set of connectors from WRLong...to connect to the grapple ($80) So, I suspect it prolly wasn't a WRLong kit...I could be wrong though.

Which DHH site? I went to Dhh.com and there's this picture of a prairie dog.
