Using field replaceable fittings to make your hoses cost less than half of commercially made up hoses.

Love this low cost fix. I am in Tassie as well fixing an old Massey Ferguson Front loader / Backhoe... The hydraulic hoses are much larger diametre but I would be willing to give it a go. You mentioned to shop around... were in Hobart Town did you find the best prices on fittings and hose? Thanks David

I’ve got an old Ford/Shibaura 1900 with loader and backhoe (built for Telecom) and a lot of the fittings on the old hoses are reusable field fittings. I need to replace lots of hoses and am planning on re-using what field fittings I can, buying rolls of hose, and buying new fittings for the currently crimped hoses, mostly 3/8” and some 1/2” hose. I have a lot of work ahead figuring out threads and inside and outside diameter hoses. Good to see some reassurance this is a viable way to go. Is there a brand on the field fittings you have settled on?

So, what's the amount of psi that those type of connector (screw on as opposed to crimp style) handle? My JD 2032R looks like it has over 5000 psi. Will these screw on fittings work with that much pressure?
