ford backhoe hydraulic hose fitting size

Any one know what the hydraulic hose fitting type on a ford backhoe. I have to replace all the hoses and I am looking for the best economical way to do it.
 
I dont know and an answer would require more details.
However if you call John Henry Foster in St Louis , they
will help you. If it is hydraulic - they have it. Check out
their website. I also found the price for the fitting I
needed was very reasonable. Like $2.49 I believe. Good
luck.
 
Not likely, but possible NPT. If it is just buy some generic hose. If not and there is enough room, get adapters ad use NPT hoses. Save money. Surplus is your friend
 
Good luck with that. My cousin bought a Dexta with a loader and backhoe more then 50 years ago. He still tells the
story today of a hose for it being the most outrageously priced thing ever for what he was getting. It was dealer
only and cost him $50 back when you'd think eight to ten was plenty. Nothing knocked it out of the park until he
had a tail light checked at the Oldsmobile garage in the 90s and he bought a $50 light bulb.
 
A picture or two and we might be able to help. I doubt that info would even be in a shop manual, but maybe if you are lucky, someone has one apart in their shop somewhere. steve
 

If it s a 723 they are ford o ring 5/8. I got some oringboss #10 and they seem to screw in and tighten up but I haven t tried to really tighten them down
 
I had a hose press and bought fittings and hose at wholesale. I once needed a hose and didn't have the fittings, went to local parts store and got an outrageous quote for a short hose (1 1/2 x 16 return line) I went to my shop looked up the wholesale prices and saw what each individual part cost, they were on the money with their price for a custom hose. I ordered a premade hose from the same company I bought fitting from and it was darn cheap! Of course the parts store only had high pressure hose and fittings, low pressure return line helped reduce the price.
 
Don't know about that fitting. Surplus Center, Discount Hydralics, Bailey sales and othere should be able to fix you up. IF it is a special fitting you could look at what those same companies have or can get you for that too.
 

To be clear, SAE hose and fittings referred to as #10 are 5/8", inside diameter class, not the thread size. The SAE #10 means 10/16". SAE #8 would be 1/2", #12 would be 3/4", etc. They might be called Ford 5/8 O-ring fittings but since the SAE #10 O-ring boss fitting worked, I would expect Ford used SAE fittings under their part number in the parts books. This is common practice with manufacturers, and unfortunately, they seldom give the common industry name/size in the description which would make it easy to pick one up at a hydraulic shop or parts store.

To the original poster. You could have several different types and sizes of fittings used on the backhoe (even more if someone has changed any over the years, using generic hoses and adapter fittings as suggested here). Other than low pressure return hoses I expect you will have two wire, 3000-4000 psi working rating hoses on your backhoe.

Here are a couple links to some info on identifying fitting types and sizes that may help you.

Ya, pre made is most generally the way to go. The one he bought was pre made though. It's something that was such a shock that he still talks about it today.

I had a steering hose leaking on my Fiat built Oliver, took that to the auto parts store. He screwed the male end in to a female fitting and said it looked to be a standard pipe thread, but he didn't have the right one. I took that one to a bigger shop and when he came out with it after he made it, he said he almost made the mistake of making one with that thread, but he looked a little bit closer and it was British pipe thread. Seems like it had one more thread per inch or some such thing. It would have bound up before it was completely tight. I was real glad Jeff didn't have the one he thought it was and that I drove the few extra miles.
