BobRip,
So where did you find the hydraulic connectors for your PT? I am looking for a male and female for my power take off for a small attachment I am making/getting. Thanks

Tractor supply places sell them, some auto parts places, and plenty online including Ebay.

Will they fit those Italian things we have on our Power-Tracs? If so I will be going there real soon. I have one of those places just down the road. Thanks

I was able to find the smaller fittings (although I recommend taking one in to make sure they are a perfect match). But the larger PTO fittings I just swapped for a more reliable (local and I can get more whenever I want) brand.

I got mine at Northern. I got some from NAPA and they looked like the PT ones, but did not work. Close, but no cigar. Take a pair with you to make sure they fit.

I also tried my local Tractor Supply and they did not have the 1/4 inch in stock. I don't know if they sell them in the online store. It seems they did not have them there either.

I'm looking for the larger fittings/connectors. I hope this isn't going to be a real pain trying to find some that fit and costing me an arm and leg. I will have 3 attachments that will use the larger fittings.

Thanks

It will be a pain. You can mail order them but I am pretty darn sure they won't be local.

Time to swap to flat face like Ken...

Tractor Supple did have larger fittings.

My one attachment I bought used, well motor and connectors they have a Parker 6600 series connectors and they fit perfectly on my Italian Power Trac connectors. Now if I can find who sells them I should be fine.

I bought the main PTO connections for my PT425 backhoe project(you know, the one I still need 10 hours to finish :laughing: ) at Bailey's.

They have changed their website a bit, so you may want to call to check. they used to list them by brand name and now they are not.
