So Faster is the brand name then? I really need 2 new female fittings as the originals that came on the loader are buggered

IIRC they're either M22 thread or in JD case most probably ORFS. Get two standard 1/2 QRC and two 1/2 BSP bulkhead fittings. The bulkheads will fit onto the loader, the QRC on one end and then get an adaptor from bsp to the ORFS.

If you can scource from hydraulic place a female ORFS to 1/2BSP male that has enough of a stem length you coukd get lucky and have enough thread protruding through the bracket hole to thread the quick release on directly. Remember to fit a doughty washer with it.

On my 651 the bulkhead fitting is M22x1.5 on the short end and face sealing on the long end.

The O.P appears to have a 1/2" Q.R coupling with a long threaded male face seal that doesn't need a bulkhead fitting.

So a bulkhead fitting with 1/2" BSP one side and face seal the other would mean Q.R couplings can be replaced cheaply in the future.

Unfortunately practical and useful things like that are not available!!! That's why sometimes you can get away with using a male male fitting and using the QRC to clamp it onto the plate aslong as it's not to heafty!! A copper washer instead of a doughty can help sometimes aswell.

A little bodge is to weld the male male onto a piece of flat and bolt it onto the carriage!!!

Bearing in mind these couplings spend most of the time vertical and exposed to water etc,you may wish to change to male couplings on the headstock.

If only, an adjustable, couple of dowties and some regular couplers soon fixes that ;)

Yes I've got a couple of borrowers with Quickes who have two male fittings on the loader whilst mine (also a JD 633) is one of each. To be fair, I don't begrudge as having good neighbours is very handy when, for example, your ballast roll breaks a wooden bearing mid rolling some turnips in, and you can just dump it and pop next door for another.
