Meteric fittings?

[wedge40]

So what I'm hearing here is if you purchase a Jinma or any other Chinese product they can not be supported. Not even by the dealer who sells it to you?

Are Jinma dealers are not equal.

I make and offer aftermarket replacement hydraulic hoses for the 200 series Jinma's, some for the 300 series Jinma, All the hoses for the China made ZL20 & ZL30 loader.

I gave up on the China backhoe.

Well this has taught me one thing.

Buy AMERICAN. Guess I should have invested the extra 1k or 1.5k and gotten a taylorway or maybe even invested in a another Koyker product.

Don't give up so quickly. With the majority of Americans buying by price only, the Chinese will own this country in the near future. I'm sure they will bring fittings when they come.

Oh I haven't given up.. By no means.. I have a glimer of hope because all the hoses are SAE hoses.. Unless the Chinese are stamping their products with english type measurements. I'm heading to Indy Friday morning to see what a Parker distributor can do for me. I figure if all else fails I can have them make a hose with a new banjo connection and a different female end.
Like I said earlier, if all else fails I'll pull all the chinese stuff out and replace with SAE.

But just in case - Now where did I put that Chinese to English dictionary.

Wedge,
Here are a couple place I use.

Malone Specialty inc.

Discount Hydraulic Hose

Tomkins Industrial

Look under either the Metric fittings or British, since some British is used on some foreign stuff.
I've had really good luck getting all I need for my Kama 554 and My wife's Jinma. Just give yourself enough time for them to order from their supplier if they don't have it in stock.
Hope that helps a little.

I deal with all 3 above. None of them have metric flat face o-ring fittings. Parker doesn't have them, Weatherhead doesn't. I researched these a couple months ago from a thread over on the Chinese section. I even called some old veterans of the hose and fitting business and got the deer-in-the-headlights stare. I can honestly say that these fittings are the first and only time I struck out. I'm meeting with my Weatherhead rep tomorrow, I'll bring it up with him as there may be a market for these.

If I read this correctly you have a hose with the proper fittings on both ends. You want a longer hose to facilitate hookup. ???

If so have the shop cut the present hose in the middle and put in fittings so that an extra piece of hose can be added for the extra length required. ??

No self respecting shop will do this. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Some may do it on the same brand hose that they crimp, other than that, no way. Crimps are measured down to the thousandth of an inch and have a tolerance of +or- .005". Almost every hose has a different wall thickness and crimp diameter. I have seen lawsuits from this, it's a slam-dunk for the plaintiff. There is no defense. You may have a local shop that does it and many times it will work okay, but it is a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm heading to Indy tomorrow to try my luck. Since my pump doesn't require the flat face but must be adapted to the BH, I'm guessing I can get the metric banjo fittings and fittings that will work directly on the pump. If that's the case I will have them make two new hoses with the extra length I need/want.

Oh and I ask at the last place I was at if he could splice the hose in the middle and he said no.

Remember these are SAE hoses, not some weird Chinese things.
I'm waiting on a dental appt this morning.. If I get ambitions I'll take some photos.
