No not that kind of quickie.
My 1997 3930 has a Quicke 310 loader on it and it looks like the hoses are original. Rubber covers are falling apart wires showing and rusting, no leaks yet....I contacted my local Bushhog distributor (James River Equipment), who seems to handle the Quicke parts supply. The 10 3/8" hoses add up to something like $900 from them (end connections must be gold). Of course if I order them and they won't work I still own them...no returns, no refunds. I called ALO Quicke technical services but not much luck due to communications problems (English is my only language and English was his third or fourth and being a bit hard of hearing I could not understand his version of English) . I have a couple of auto part places, that work weekends, that build hydraulic hoses, but they are not familiar with the Quicke loaders so they can't say whether they have end fittings or not. Do any of y'all know what the port and pipe connections are for the Quicke? An example hose is R-3/8-90-300. Best I can figure the R is the end connector series 3/8=3/8" hose 90 is 90 degrees and 300 is 300 mm length. I have calipers, thread gages and Discount Hydraulic Hose's Port and Thread ID literature so I can pull a hose or two and try to ascertain the port and pipe connections.
I suppose I could just pull a couple and send them to Discount Hydraulic Hoses and have them built per sample.
