Getting ready to convert pin on FEL 4n1 bucket (Wr Long on B21), which has "hard wired" lines from the solenoid valve to the 4n1 jaw cylinders to SSQA.

Obviously, the thing to do is add QC couplers, And replace the well abused original hoses. I bought it that way, in case you wonder. I see the WR long kits come with QC couplers, but maybe they did not "back then".

Looking for examples of how others have mounted the QC couplers so I can have lots of options to befuddle my aging brain. Further.

Just want to try and avoid excessive down time and scrounging up of parts, etc.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for as I used the existing quick coupler on my BX when I added a JD 4 way blade I had to the tractor. Works flawlessly. Bought the top part of the quick coupler. Kind of costly but happily with the result. Had the hoses made at a local shop.

Kind of. Where the QC's mount to the adapter. "Bulkhead" sort of thing.

Now, I like that idea on the hoses, and the QC, as I have that for my snowblower. Nice if I could use the QC for some other implement. The best thing is it frees up two hyd lines for other functions.
