Hey folks, I recently (last month) purchased my first tractor (larger than a “garden” tractor), and found new things to do with it. So I purchased another loader attachment (my wife is still okay with me.. so far!)
this is a tree/bush puller. It arrived, looks okay (I would have covered the hoses), but I immediately ran into an issue…. My Kubota l3902 uses 3/8 flat face, and the implement came with 1/2” flat face. Being in the boonies, I ordered a set of the appropriate connectors. They arrived today, but… I can’t put them on. Turns out there is a male nipple from the hose to the the quick connect, and the one on the hose currently is a 3/8 to 1/2.
I think I finally identified the connector as a JIC to NPC fitting…. But I can’t find any to purchase? My semi-local dealer said he hadn’t a clue, of course.
the fitting has an inverse flare on the 3/8 side (which means it’s jic, right?)
any help would be appreciated!
