I just bought some nylon sleeving from McMaster-Carr at:

http://www.mcmaster.com/

It is on catalog page 733 at the bottom and is called "Woven Nylon Fabric Sleeving". Price was very reasonable in my opinon.

I cut the sleeving by wrapping it with masking tape and using sharp scissors. Cuts very clean that way.

It is just like what Kubota uses on my L3430, in fact looks like the same manufacturer.

Great job on the install, Mad. You beat me to it, I just received my W.R. Long valve from Carver Equipment last week.

I have a Pirraha Root Grapple that I bought a year ago and just am getting around to install. Kind of slow I know, but the grapples have went up alot in price due to steel and the huricane cleanups. So I came out ok.

Anyway, after the 20th when my daughter has her high school open house, I will have time to install the valve and grapple. I plan to post all like you did here.

Mad, I was wondering where you got the fittings (and what are they called) that go thru the angle bracket to connect the hoses and also the QCs. Nice job. I've got all my stuff ready to put my grapple on except the above mentioned fitting and some time. Thanks.

They are standard bulkhead fittings. These are 1/4" NPT male to 3/8 JIC male (designation 04-06). Pretty standard stuff. I got them from Discount Hydraulic Hose.
