Name this fitting

[Newlands]

Does anyone know the name of this hydraulic coupling fitting on the back of my little Leyland tractor?
I want to make a log splitter, so need to either get a matching fitting, or take this one off and replace it with some sort of quick-coupler.

Ah yes, of course it is. I really should have known as they were always standard fitment on tractors when I were a lad. I take it they are obsolete these days??

Yes, a 154. I really have to get round to a resto sometime as its looking a bit rusty these days.

Agriline do them for £20 ish. Probably available in loads more places.

Crikey that's an old one. Can just about remember coupling up tipping trailers to them but also remember there was at least two sizes.
What does the splitter have cause I would've thought you should bite the bullet and fit a female qr coupling on the tractor and a male on the splitter will be much easier and fit other attachments in the long run.

At the moment the splitter is just a project that exists in my head! But i have a few bits of 6 x 4 channel at the ready. I think a QR fitting sounds the way to go, assuming I can find one to fit on the 13mm pipe - I guess it will be a ½"bsp.

You can get a Dowty to QR fitting, the best of both worlds. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-2-bsp-...o-dowty-coupling-with-dust-plug-/174251012522

All the way from Silsoe - that brings back some memories!

Haven't seen a dowty for years, still got a few exactor's at work. They are actually better than the modern quick release rubbish that leaks after 6 months.
