Plumbing for a grapple

[tmdupre]

That's not what I bought.

Here is the craiglist ad where I bought from: GRAPPLE JOHN DEERE TRACTOR KUBOTA or SKIDSTEER

They have pictures.


I'll take some once I get done.

Thanks, I was thinking you had something different then the Thumb. This is a different grapple from most of what I've seen here. Let us know how you like it after you try it out.

I'm kind of lucky with this model tractor as the remote levers are very close to the loader joystick:

The Green one will be my control.

Here are some of the pictures from the ad, so future info seekers can see it after the craigslist ad expires.

The green one should work pretty well.

The rear remotes take 1/2" AG fittings, and I think you would be fine with 3/8" hose, works fine for me.

When you use the 1/2" AG at the rear remotes and use lets say 3/8" hose do you have to use a reducer on the NPT threads or can you get couplers that will plug in to the remotes and accept the 3/8" hose?

Also which is the better set of rear remotes to use (blue or green) or does it matter? Does the green have the detent in the center? Sorry for all the questions.

I don't think there is any difference in the blue/green remotes. The green works better because it's closer to the joystick and the location of the remotes is in a cleaner spot.

I just bought 3/8"-1/2" expander fittings to use the different sizes. If they make a 1/2 QC that goes straight to a 3/8" NPT thread, I couldn't find it.

Thanks PatMcD. That's what I was thinking on the reducers.

FYI, I think your loader joystick is 'backwards'... rotate it 180° on its threads (not sure how to get to the locknut on yours) and you will be much happier i think.

You know I wondered about the "funny looking joystick" it never occurred to me it was on backwards.

It's been a little loose lately.
