Loader Mahindra ML112 hose question

[JerryK]

No fault to Jerry, but they do change hose sizes and thread types on CUT models from the same companies. My own DaeDong tractor uses a mix of JIC and metric O-ring. One of my JDs had lots of standard ORFS fittings, and another did not.

Measure the threads and type the fittings to be sure, or bring to a shop who will.

Thanks, but I can take the heat...... I'm old enough that it just keeps the juices flowing.... If I was 100.9999% right all the time, I would REALLY be harder to live with.... Besides, he is a brother Lightning Fast Chicken Plucker, so I have to cut him a break ...

Yeah no worries Jerry, I had already ordered the 3/8 hose fittings when you mentioned that it was probably metric. I thought dang, I had ordered custom fittings of the wrong type, A day later was reassured because the ends were stamped 6-6mb The other end is 6fjx which I was told was the MB was Male Boss and the FJX was an alternative name to JIC. There were Gates part numbers on the ends as well. But when looking at Gates online those parts were not present.

Under normal circumstances I would have taken them to a local vendor who would have glanced at them and made them up in 15 minutes. I needed to stay away from people and ended up ordering them on the net. With shipping and handling they were about 24 dollars a piece.

Prior to this I had no idea except that I hated pipe threads. So I am glad I didn't just get replacement hoses like I did in the past.

Jerry, definitely we're a dwindling lot. It won't be too many years and we will be like the vets of past eras. Gone.
