Loader Replacing FEL controls with Aftermarket - double or single stick

[California]

Ok, TSC has every kind of Quick Disconnect I can imagine and a good variety of swivels and fittings. But little in the area of adapting up from one size thread to another; nothing suitable.

I also went into the local Parker Hydraulic Hose&/Fittings shop. The very experienced counterman said it would take an expensive and ugly string of fittings to adapt up from -6 to -8 (Threads 9/16" > 3/4", both with O-ring on face.) I asked about just putting -8 ends on my hoses and he said about $15 each, cheaper and cleaner than adapters and the best alternative in his opinion. When the valve arrives I'll take it in there with the hoses and probably use that alternative.

That's going to be the best fix with little to go wrong later imo just a bit more mess and work now. Now lets hope the valve does what you want it too.
