Magnetic Caps For Outlets
Keeping dirt out of hydraulic outlets is easy with new magnetic caps which store out of the way when not in use unlike conventional caps that hang below the outlet and gather dirt.Mike Farney, Perryton, Texas, says his rubber-coated "Magna Caps" contain strong high grade ceramic magnets that never lose their power. The caps are 112 in. thick and 2 in. in dia. They're designed to self-center over outlet for an airtight fit. When not in use you can stick them to a fender or other clean flat surface.
"Conventional outlet plugs get dirty and crack so that after a few years they're difficult or even impossible to use. The chance of getting dirt into the hydraulic system - and doing expensive damage to the system - is high," says Farney.
Two sizes of caps fit all outlets. The regular size fits nearly all tractors with quick couplers. A larger size fits all larger Deere tractors with a steel coupler carrier. They sell for $8 apiece.
