Ford 3000 Rear Remotes

[jchristopherson]

I have a 1972 Ford 3000 with rear remotes that I am trying to use with a Rhino box blade that has hydraulic cylinder to raise/lower the scarifying tines. The cylinder has 3/8" hose with male NPT end. Where can I find a male end of the coupling to fit the remotes that will attach to 3/8" npt thread on the existing hose?

Just get half inch pipe thread tips and then use a 1/2 to
3/8 bushing

The inside dimension of the remote is 1", 1/2" tips are the right size are they?

The standard couplers are threaded for 1/2 inch pipe, get those and install 1/2 to 3/8 reducer bushings the screw your lines into the bushings

Try looking on the side of the tip most will say if they are 1/2NPT or if they are 3/4 16 which is an o-ring thread. then just use a bushing appropriate for the threads.

I understand how to reduce the 1/2" thread on the tip to the 3/8" on the hose, I am trying to figure out what type of tip to buy to fit the coupler on the tractor. There are a number of different types and sizes and I would like to avoid making 6 trips back and forth to the store. The only marking I find on the remote on the tractor is C9NN-B961-BB. I have never used the rear remotes and don't have anything else to try hooking into them.

Here's a link to the correct type to match what you have.

Google Pioneer standard couplers. That s the type Ford used

All couplers as far as I know are 1/2 inch for ag use, now garden tractors
do have a smaller coupler that I think is a quarter inch but would not even
be on the store shelf. If you have the coupler just go to your hardware
store and buy standard black or galvanised water pipe bushings.

Gates also makes a compatible coupler.

It looks like the same ones that are on my
Ford 4600. I just went and bought new
Pioneer Universal couplers and replaced
them.
