Hi all,

I have an M7040 with an M20 loader on it. I bought it used, and I'm pretty sure it came from Canada. Today, I blew a hydraulic line and I'm realizing I can't find the correct fitting. The loader (and tractor) are wired for the 3rd function valve, but on the valve end, there is just some wires with connectors and the hydraulic distribution block doesn't have a place to connect the 3rd hydraulics. I'm attaching some pictures, hopefully this helps.

What I need: a part number for the push-in quick connect fitting and someone who can point me in the right direction to get the 3rd function valve ready for a grapple.

Someone has equipped it with a swedish valve and piping! :eek:
Almost nothing they do will cross over to normal hydraulic fittings.
You will need to get a hold of them and see if they can help you get the fittings or hoses.
lucky for you you shouldn't need to brush up on your swedish, as it looks like they have a distributor in PA.:

If the end is good and you just have an issue with the hose you could get this to keep you going, but by looking at the picture again it looks like the damage is to close to the fitting:

More research is that it is a M20 ALO loader, check with these guys for parts as they are ALO distributors:

Thanks for the help! Yes, it's an ALO, which me previous M6800 also had. Tough to get parts for that one as well, the threads are all BSP (British Standard Pipe).
