kobelco hydraulic fittings

[dave7840]

Anyone with a kobelco digger, where do you get your hydraulic hoses from because I cannot find a supplier. Its only the second hose we have had go. Last time they cut the original fitting off and put a new compression fitting to bsp on, but this time the steel tube is curved after the fitting so cant be done that way. The fitting is M30 X 1.5 metric 24° cone male French type

If it's anything like our cat 320 for hydraulic fittings then the only place you will get it is kobelco

yeah I can get one from Molsons but the lead times 2 to 3 weeks from Japan.

Dont tell a soul. but i have been known to reuse fittings of unataianium size , or if in dire ,i have somebody who is ace at brazing and can cut and join fittings

I had thought of that but the hose size is 5/8 and the few people I know that would be willing to do it, don't have the dies for that size

...for a price . I'd just the take the pipe to my local lads at Eastern Hose and say fit this up please.

 

[dave7840]

hopefully sorted. Went to pirtek, who said yeah its this fitting, GAZ fitting £45 (£107 list) so got the hose made £74 total which for pirtek isn't to bad and well it's not that, so took it back. The gaz fitting is 24 degree but 21mm internal, it needed to be 22mm. So they got a new fitting and machined it out. I took the steel tube with me this time and it fitted, so they made a new hose up. It doesn't leak so just got to hope it lasts.
