Quick Connect Addition

[Briar Hill Brittanys]

I'm wanting to put in a set of quick connect couplers on the bucket circuit of my 37 loader. The idea is to have the hoses sweep up the right frame, and 90 into the couplers. They'd be mounted on a plate, with the connection facing the front. When I don't want to use the loader it'd be simple to unplug the bucket hoses, drop 4 pins and drive away. I'm not sure what is needed to make the 90 and have the coupler mounted solid. Is there a "bulkhead" type of coupler or fitting? Thanks. Mark

Yes, there are bulkhead couplers.

Thank you J.J. I should have looked a little harder. My next question, which quick connect do I need? There are several different ones. Also, when replacing the hoses, do I need 3/8" or 1/2"? Currently there are both sizes on the loader. The tractor is a 1020, 10.5 GPM. Thanks again. Mark

On the QD's, try and match up with the tractor QD's if they have them.

My 1070 has such a bulkhead coupling area bolted on at the foot-well. I use both circuits for the loader for haying, box blade, cement mixer, dump wagon, snow plow and others, all the time. Often I don't even drop the loader, just disconnect the curl circuit.
