Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chalmers" data-source="post: 112301" data-attributes="member: 15979"><p>I contacted Faster ,the manufacturer of the Coupler Block to ask about the confusion with 1/2" and 3/4" cartridges in the old/new Coupler Block on Bobcat High Flow equipment. I specifically asked if the later Coupler Block could be retrofitted and how to ensure it has High Flow cartridges. The questions are important because if you operate the Bobcat in High Flow mode but with restrictive Regular Flow cartridges, it will cause the attachment to perform badly and the hydraulic fluid will overheat. So far I have had no useful response from Faster. By contrast Stucchi were very helpful and explained their parts won't fit because it is a Faster exclusive to Bobcat. Seems odd that Faster who enjoys an exclusive parts agreement with Bobcat won't help by giving us their own part numbers so owners can buy the correct part from their dealers. To complicate the problem the part numbers on the old cartridges are very feint so it is difficult(without help from Faster) to know what parts are already fitted. Without this info, you can't buy the correct seal kit. There must be a simple solution to this and when I find it, I'll post it here.</p></blockquote><p></p>
