Hello TYMr's,
I wondered if I could get some help or at least ideas where to look next. I'm trying to cobble together a hydro gauge to occasionally monitor my system. I'd like to be able to plug in and out from the loader system as that's usually all I'm concerned about. My trouble is I am having a devil of a time trying to find quick disconnect fittings that will allow me to do so.
Information written on my original fittings that came with my TYM273 follows: written/stamped on only the female -- KWAN KWANG 09 PT 3/8 -- they are mounted to 1/4 inch flexible hose from the loader valve and connect to hard line pipe. This is where I disconnect whenever the loader is removed. I see the reducers in the ends of each (Male & Female) fitting. So, I came to the conclusion they are 3/8 QD fittings. They appear to be agricultural style fittings, but they do not have the rounded ball inside, rather a prominent protruded end, on a slightly v-shaped style ball - perhaps a pop-up style? I am unsure as to that. The male has nothing written/stamped on it at all.
I purchased from DHH three sets of 3/8 inch 3AGF3 - AG3F3 which are supposed to interchange with Parker/Pioneer 4050-3 [female] & 4010-3 [male]. Hoped they'd fit, but ... they don't. They won't quite fit inside the KWAN KWANG fittings - they are just a "tad" bigger in body. I realize that I could just buy several more QD's and change out them all - but - I'd rather not do all that.
If I can just figure out what they interchange with my solution to a plug-in gauge is solved. Have any of you ever sourced Korean hyd fittings? Any source suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Greg
