Question ????????
« on: March 02, 2007, 03:06:15 PM »
I dug my way to the shed door to get the tractor  out to dig my way out of the snow that got me hemmed up here at home.
When I put the tractor away I looked at the 4" dredge sitting along the jeep and I looked at the 4" suction hose all patched up with duct tape I used to repair it while dredging up in Alaska last summer.
I have the new hose and I decided to change over the fittings so I can get an early start as soon as the ice gets out.
I always have a problem gluing the power jet quick coupler on with Silicone, the stuff always breaks loose.
What do you guys use? is there something that works better?

Hi Kurt, ;D
Just wondering,what is the base metal on your dredge ?
Aluminum ?
If so,you might have someone to weld a short nipple,or a quick fitting.Such as those
with the 2 arms on each side to lock to the fitting.
That should do away with the silicon rubber.
My best to you.
