LA344 hydraulic fittings

[Dragoon]

Good day everyone.

I must admit I searched everywhere I could think of to find the answer to this, as well as this gorum., To no avail.

My FEL for my bx 2380had a hydraulic line fail. One of the ones coming from the quick disconnect on the loader side. Specifically the one with the white marker.

I tried calling my local dealer to ask what parts I needed to buy at TSC to replace the line.

Let's just say they were less than forthcoming.

Regardless, I finally got my hands on a male x male 36" inch 3/8 line and a female and female pipe adapter for the hard steel line side of the replacement but I can't figure out which size adapter I need to fit the 3/8 line to the quick disconnect.

I was hoping for some guidance.

I can't shell out the kind of cash Kubota wants for their proprietary line. 5heir parts catalogue just lists their entire assembly as one part and don't list sizes.

Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Best advice, when you are finding your way with hydraulics, is to take the busted hose and quick coupler to a specialty hydraulics shop.

In Pembroke:

Hokums Industrial Supplies
622 Bruham Ave, Pembroke, ON K8A 4Z7

or Snyders Equipment Repair
https://www.pembrokeheavyequipmentrepair.com/

They can make you a hose of the exact length you need and with fittings to fit your coupler and the hard lines.

If you know hydraulics then TSC is fine but too many people end up with plumbing fittings on their hydraulics which can be very unsafe.

I am almost positive the coupler has a male #4 JIC fitting in it.
