Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Well there we go. All installed. Let me know if that’s alright and that it might work. Still could be a while before I get to try it.

looks good Noel.

I see no reason for that not to work.

Sure would like to see a hose looped between those two quick connectors in case a tree branch knocks the pto lever into engagement.

@myerslawnandgarden Bob has a very valid point. Case and Ingersoll usually had a hose coming off of one of the lines that would loop back and plug into the remaining coupling. In your case the spliter would have one male and one female coupler. This makes coupling of hoses and direction of control movement the same every hookup.

Forgive my lack of terminology here... I've got male and female quick connects on my PTO, my hydravac and a spare hose to loop the lines. That allows me to loop the hydravac lines when in storage and add the spare line to loop the PTO ports.

Can still have the loop with a hose with male quick attach ends. Buy then you use more pairs of quick attach fittings instead of two pairs like the guys say.


Like this you use only two pairs.

Well I had a post all wrote out last nite and and forgot to submit it I figure. So it’s gone. Jumpins I do that a lot.
Any way, I don’t plan on having the handle installed unless I’m using the splitter. I had the handle catch some thing last year while cutting grass. But there was a route in the old hook up for it to flow. But small hose. So I took the handle out. I would say that is how to previous owner ruined the pump in the tractor to begin with.
Any way. I’ll look at that, but for now the handle will be left out.

Could I get a hose made and just loop those two quick disconnects together. ?

I can see, but a way of in the distance, a hydraulic dump trailer.
I have a brand new still in box 10 cubic foot agri fab trailers. Not much of a trailer, but it’s a trailer.

When I went the Quick Connect route I made up a 3rd hose to loop the couplers behind the seat, I tried using a bunch of 90° elbows to see if I could make a solid connection without needing a hose but it got too fiddly -
the hose works, it's just kinda clunky having that big loop behind the seat.

Thanks, I’ll look into that. The way I have my quick disconnects, I could use 90 degree elbows and hang my loop down. And that would maybe keep it from getting fetched up in any thing.
