    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    Aaaaaand - success! Finally! Lots of cursing, swearing and elbow grease failed to release the second fitting. I zapped it several times over the course of a day with some "Rust loosener with freeze shock effect" I had in the barn, and which did - absolutely nothing but take the last of the...

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    So in case anyone is still interested in the ongoing saga of My First Fiddling With Hydraulics.... Some more bits arrived in the post, and a 1/8" to 1/4" bushing finally let me attach my gauge to the left-hand pipe. Result is that: when the aux lever is pushed forward, gauge immediately hits...

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    So I finally found time in amongst barn demolition, ditch excavation and getting rained on to take off one of the connectors. There was some old latex-like white goop in the threads which I think was some sort of sealant. Should I be using something special to re-tighten with? Anyhow, I did...

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    Update: so flowfitonline turn out to be super-efficient, I got my shipping confirmation within half an hour of ebay letting me complete the checkout, and I got the parts a few days later. :cool: Only for the connector to be significantly too big. :o So whatever these connectors are is clearly...

    Logs - How About This?

    I think the store-bought version is a skid(ding) cone, skidding plate or log sled, there's umpteen versions around. Popular with ATV users and seems a lot less complicated and risky than hooking up tow chains all over the back of the tractor. But if I was going to drag logs on a regular basis...

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    Sorry, communication failure there, that was me attempting to thank you guys for stopping me from over-complicating things. I'm forever telling people that the more parts they put into something the more likely it is to go wrong, and now look at me. 100% more parts than required! Just to make...

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    :o I'm not really an idiot, but I play one on the internet. Thanks for de-complicating things. I'll order those two and keep my fingers crossed.

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    And would this fit the requirements? coupler hose gauge adapter to fit coupler to hose Or would I be better with something like this test kit and the coupler? Would the "Check Coupling 1/4" BSP" allow connection between the 16x2 metric nut and the back of the female coupler?:confused:

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    Where's the little "waaaaah" smilie with the tears? This is clearly going to get more complicated than I hoped. Especially since I am an idiot and I think based on the dimensions these are 1/4 ISO 16028 not 1/2 inch, it's the inside diameter not the outside that counts, apparently 1 - Fitting...

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    A close-up is no problem. At least, a closer-up. Note small paint scrapes on faces of couplers caused by repeated poking with a leatherman. Click here if you want the BIIG picture. Pipe fittings? Gauges? This is all unexplored territory, to put it mildly. Would it be necessary to unscrew these...

    Does anyone have a clue about the mystery rear hydraulic connectors on my ZB-1600?

    Because I have no clue... Hence my first set of embarrassing noob questions. This is Little Miss Sunshine, a 1983-vintage four wheel drive who has allegedly done some multiple of 573 hours before joining us on our 12 acres in Sweden a year ago. Looks like the paintwork is either original (I...
