Superior loader model 218

[vrfoetis]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out the hard line connections for this loader? The hard lines for the front cylinder were broke off where the flexible line connect. I was able to remove the hard lines at a union on the loader frame. I tried to match up a plumbing union but it’s not 1/4(to small) or 3/8(to big). I was hoping to pick up a new union so I could at least plug it off and use the loader to lift.

Is it an o-ring fitting instead of pipe thread then? O-ring wouldn't fit a pipe thread.

It’s an actual union that you would find in the plumbing section. 3 pieces. I haven’t done much with hydraulics other than replace hoses, so I’m unfamiliar with the different types of connectors for hydraulics

Good photos of the fitting with a scale/tape measure next to it would be very helpful.
