help to Identify Hydraulic fitting

Kilroy2k1 · Sep 22, 2016

I managed to score the drive parts for my mini ex, Bobcat 56 (komatsu pc05) but I have a problem with the hydraulic connections to the travel motors. The machine has 10mm tubing with some form of compression fitting. The motors have 1 JIC to 1/4" BSP and 2 JIC to 3/8 BSP, the JIC sizes are 3/8 I believe. Does anyone know the proper name for the compression fittings for the travel motors so I can try and locate the proper fittings for the drive motors? Thanks Tom.

My dad mentioned that in their infinite wisdom, Komatsu came out with their own design, they have dfferent angles, so they may look like JIC but a different seat angle..... You may need to go to the dealer to match the fittings.

I ended up just taking the stuff to a hydraulic repair place in Toronto as I had to go up there for the new tracks anyways and they set me up with a bunch of fittings and adapters and such. To the tune of $120 worth "ouch'. The jic adapters seem to work fine and no leaks yet. Thanks anyhow guys Tom.

For a steel line with a flare, there is the flare, followed by a tube sleeve, then a tube nut. Is that what you where asking( For future reference)?
