quick couplers for 7308 loader

[kpk]

Does anyone know want brand, model, and size quick couplers come with the 7308 loader and mate with the four couplers coming from the fel valve on the fender?

I am trying to make pressure gauge like the one Spencer made, but I don't know what fittings to buy. The dealer can order them for me, but I thought my hydraulic shop might be a better buy.

don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure they're a standard size same as snowplow hoses. should be able to get them at NAPA auto parts or a plow store. I know they're the same as my snowplow, but it might be just a fluke.

They are a non-standard tip/coupler configuration. The easiest place to source them is the NH dealership. The good news is the ataching thread is 3/8 pipe.

Interesting. Spencer said he got them from his local hydraulic shop. I posted a reply to his "7308 loader owners" thread but got no reply back. NH wanted $41 for the female and $11 for the male. Seems a bit high.

Spencer is not spending much time on TBN anymore. His business involves a lot of traveling and he has found that TBN is taking too much of his time.

So it may take a while to get a PM to him.

I did not suggest they are cheap; only readily available. I also wanted to be sure that you understood they are not common Pioneer-style coupler bodies as found on truck mounted snowplows. If you think your local hydraulics shop has them at a better price, that is the best place to inquire.
