SCV ISO conversion

The 4320 I bought has the original SCV set up for JD ends.I don't care for the adapters so what does it run to put convert to ISO or am I better off with 50/55 boxes? Thanks
 
My rented bought and I installed a couple of kits from DEERE in his 4620, they work just fine.
 
I buy the Parker ISO conversion kits. Several aftermarket companies sell them. They are the exact kit JD sells. I give $100 for the kit through Parker and it is around $175 through JD. I think Sloan has the parker kits for that $100 too.
 
I've been interested in the ISO conversion kits for our tractors as well but have read some disconcerting feedback on other forums.

Ex: https://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=532715&DisplayType=nested&setCookie=1

Apparently they don't last as long. Not sure what this means? Do they start leaking sooner or physically wear out?

They are harder to connect / disconnect?

SCV assys. from the 50 & 55 series tractors are favored as they were designed for use with the ISO coupler?

This is from people who purportedly work at dealerships or independent repair shops........


Any thoughts on this?

I have converted hundreds of couplers too the new ISO style. The one thing I do is to use the orings and flat backup rings. Some kits have the "newer" all in one square looking lip seal and those do not seem to hold up very well.

As for the kits holding up other wise??? I have not really noticed them being more of an issue than the OEM ones. A couple that is use a lot will need orings/seals regularly. I have one feeder wagon tractor that is coupled and uncoupled everyday. I usually have to replace the orings that go around the tip every six month or so. The outer barrel orings will last several years.

Maybe I am the odd ball but I am not really a big fan of the 50/55 style coupler. The way they set back into the cover makes them harder to couple some hoses too. IF guys remember they actually recommended a longer male tip be used with them.
 
No, but I think the concept is interesting. They basically bypass anything to do with the original coupler and put an ISO coupler out the back of the bypass. If or when I switch mine I think I will try them. Call Burmeisters 815-745-2000 and ask for customers who have tried them.
 
Thanks for the real world experience & info.!

mrslesq : What they are doing is using the style couple that the newer tractors have on them. The closest would be the JD 6000 series tractors. IF you look the barrels screw into the valve body on the JD 6000 series. The ones your looking at are just screwed into a JD male coupler fitting. They would be simple as you can just stick them into a JD styled SCV barrel and have ISO out the back. The only trouble I would see with them is I have had those style on my JD 6400 for 26 years now. I have had to completely replace them several times. They will get to the point they will not hold hoses in anymore. They usually are not repairable either. Also you just shove a hose in under pressure. Then you work the SCV control back and forth and that is supposed to release the check ball then oil flows normal. Half the time, if the hose has much pressure on it, the hose will just pop out of the coupler. So your getting back off the tractor and sticking the hose back in. Hoping that it will release the NEXT time you try it. Some times you will have to dump some pressure of the ball before the coupler will work and release it.

I will take the ISO conversion any day over those type of couplers. The ISO is cheaper by far and is more fool proof to me. When you flip the lever the couplers are locked in and the couple check balls released, 100% of the time.
 
I have the newest style couplers on a 6170 and also a 6430 and they are replacable but not repairable according to our JD dealer and mine have been replaced under warranty a couple times.The ones on 8370 and 8100 haven't given any problems but are not hooked up as often.
 
i bought jd old style to iso conversion kit from shoup parts for my 4230. directions were mediocre. cost was $ 245 delivered. found a australian video on how to re-seal old style. was very helpful
aussie 4230 re seal scv
