Powermax cyl. fitting

[D-17_Dave]

I was hooking up a cyl. on my 620 and broke one of the fitting's on it.B) When I took the fitting out I found the fitting is an inbetween odd sized fitting.[:0] I keep a few fittings around and it's definately an inbetween size. Anyone run into this before? I was surprised they would use something so odd in such a common place.:(

Sounds like Murphy was on the design team.

[Ronald Hribar]

which fitting do you need? if i have extra i'll send it down.

Metric maybe?

That fitting is not that uncommon. Any good hydraulic store will have it on hand.

[D-17_Dave]

I've never seen anything half or odd sized like this. It's 1/8" pipe thread on the cyl. and larger than a #4 and smaller than a #6 JIC flare. I don't have my Parker catalog in front of me so I can't look it up. My local dealer don't have it, as usual. So here I am stuck. Murphy---GO AWAY.

There are number 5 fittings in hydraulics.

I found out the same thing when I purchased male quick couplers to hook up various implements. They wouldn't couple:( up with the female couplers on the tractor. Our nearest simplicity dealer is 70 miles away so I bought complete Pioneer sets at our local Ace store and these are a common size. I even switched them on the Legacy XL. I suppose they wanted a certain size so you would purchase their hydraulic parts? It is irritating when they aren't a common size that are readily available:(

Same cyl was used by JD on 140's 300 and 400 series tractors. Not sure the fittings are the same but its a spendy place to look if your hard up Dave

Yea, I found out they are #5's. I can get a few tomorrow. It was just agrevateing trying to hook up and breaking that right at dark. It didn't stop the 620, but it ended my fun for the evening. I'm slowly amassing the parts like that that would break me down for any reasonable amount of time. This way I don't get stuck on the weekend or in the middle of something where I can't finish. Thanks for the info guys.
