I have NH BR750. After a few hydraulic parts failures, I want to try to improve reliability (reduce downtime) now that I am between cuttings.
I have noted that the 3/8 inch flex hoses that transition from steel lines to the tailgate hydraulic cylinders are showing age. I want to replace all four of them, each being around 16 inches long. One end is a standard 3/8 JIC swivel fitting, the other is special that can connect to the steel hydraulic line. Does anyone know what this special fitting is? I make my own hoses and want to order just the fittings.
Doing some research, this steel line connection appears to be labeled as a flareless tube fitting. Optically, the flex hose fitting looks like a fixed 1/4" male NPT, but the walls are thinner so that it can fit over the ferrule on the steel line.
I am attaching a photo of the ferrule and steel line.
