The dealer installed a 3rd function on my new MX 4900. It came with flat face couplers at the front to plug in my attachments. I am assuming those couplers are better than the old style.
I need to change my grapple and other attachments to flat face couplers. But I am getting conflicting information on the size. I looked up a parts schematic and it calls the couplers that came with the 3rd function kit 1/2". When I measure the OD of the male coupler, it indicates it is a 3/8" coupler. (It measure 3/4" or .78" which is a 3/8" coupler according to the flat face coupler charts).

Does anyone know for sure what that flat face coupler size is?

Thank you,

Read the number on the coupler.
That will tell you the size.

Thanks, I did some careful reading of the couplers with a flashlight. I think I have the correct thing ordered. They are definitely 3/8" but the parts list says 1/2"

Depending on which brand of 3rd function kit your dealer installed, it can be ordered with 3/8", 1/2", or 5/8" couplers, or the dealer could have installed something he had in stock.
