BF400G Loader going down to fast.

[TheOldHokie]

The loader does not operate smoothly and is sometimes dangerous as stated in the above post.
All fitting look like this. Just some are 90*.
I trying it find a place where I can find this to fit the 3/4”-16 and the 7/8”-14. Will have call around tomorrow. Not sure what size I have on the hose but gonna read about it and measure. I believe it’s an m16 but what’s the proper size and name I don’t know yet.

Do you know if I can mount this hoses right or left or it matters for the float to work on the down position correct?

Hmmmm. M16 would be unusual. What does the inside of that swivel look like?

You can get SAE-8 and SAE-10 port adapters in just about every conceivable end type

Hoses have to be connected to specific ports.

Yes the male thread measures 16.5mm OD.
They are all original Kubota hoses.


I know hoses IN, PB, TANK have to be in right ports. But the rise and lower, can the be changed from up to down and tilt to tip?

If the thread measures 16.5mm it is not a metric fitting.

ALL workport hoses have to go to the correct ports. They cannot be swapped around.

Looks like BSPP swivel to me. The other end is probably #10 ORB if the threads measure 16.5mm.

I forgot to mention there should be numbers on the flats of the fittings. That should tell you the sizes and sometimes the type of fitting.

Thank you for the reply.
Everywhere I look and read, or search to find fittings for sale no one shows that type of fittings so far.
I know I need to have one side 3/4”-16 and the others end for the hose which ur saying is #10 ORB. The other size I [need is 7/8”-14 to same #10 ORB 90*

The 3/4-16 and 7/8-14 ends with. the oring are ORB.

The hose end with the swivels are not ORB. They are likely a female pipe swivel of some sort- either 3/8 BSP or 3/8 NPT. Take one of the adapters to a hydraulic shop and ask them to ID it for you. NPT is 18 TPI and BSP is 19 TPI.

I see you added a picture of the swivel to an earlier post. That is a female pipe swivel - probably 3/8 BSPP but to be safe take it to a professional to confirm.

If the old adapters are ORB and the correct size you can reuse them. If not replacements are readily available.

Thanks a lot for all the good info. Took the fittings off and will go to a shop hopefully today.

If those are BSPP fittings buying locally can be very pricey. Online is a lot better.

Here is a datapoint - ORB to BSPP adapter:
