Russell. They are 3/8. I was able to get 3 from tractor supply. 4800 psi so they are more than enough for this. I think this tractor needs a minimum 3000 psi. It looks like I will have to order the rest of them. Im going to need a lot for the FEL, 12 total (I think) from the controller to the...

I will confirm that and add a picture later this evening. I plan to find out today. I need to find an...
