[QUOTE="David Bliss, post: 9227631, member: 157650"] Things do occasionally fail standing in the shed, but I used to get people bring hydraulic pipe failures and with the mixture of Pipe, JIC, and now metric, I used to keep all old fittings and a quick fix just to get people on the go again would weld my old to the new failed bit so I could get them on the go again. I would say get a new bit made up when you can, years later the quick fix was still there, last one I done was for the scrapped Chines tractor I rebuilt for myself, quick-fit coupling locked off and split the pump, well that won't happen again as removed it, but then they used some odd sized fittings, I started to hunt for fittings but couldn't find the very odd sized one as they used flat face fitting, I had the two pieces of pipe with fittings one on each fitted the one end of the tractor pump and the diverter valve, so simple cut end off the quick-fit and weld to the odd ball fitting on the pump that then the rubber flex pipe fitted the quick-fit threaded bit. Photos of before and after, I found the hydraulic oil foamed as the pump was sucking air in the weak two set screw fitting, this was altered to take an extra set screw and pipe lifted out of harms way and made to not be under strain, and gone is the quick-fit. It is a handy little tractor now but build quality was diabolical with bit just forced to fit. [/QUOTE]
