flat face couplers

[jeffb]

hello to all. the question i have is, can anyone tell me where i can get a set of flat face couplers for a 99 773f other than bc dealer? i cannot get the ones on my machine to connect to the attachments even after bleeding the hydraulic system. the dealer price seems waay too high i think, i may be wrong. thanks in advance. Jeff

 

[skidsteer.ca]

Ebay, baileynet.com or other qaulity hydraulic shops.
Just known as a 1/2" flat faced skidsteer coupler, "Faster" compatible.
Careful of the "Parker" ones as Case used (5 to 10 years back) them for awhile and they are different

thanks for your help on this. i will contact those companies to make sure i get the right one. does the 1/2" refer to the end that screws on the fitting with the O ring? thanks again. Jeff

The 1/2" refers to the coupler size. 1/2" is also called ISO 12.5. The thread where the oring seal is a SAE size and you should measure that before ordering. As an example a ISO 12.5 Faster brand coupling with a 1 1/16" SAE thread would be 2FFI12-34SAE with a M or F at the end depending on if its male or female.
Here a link to the Faster catalog.
