Toyota 2SDK8 hydraulic hose and connector sizes?

No published hose/fitting size chart exists for the 2SDK8 in any manual I can verify — Toyota never released a full parts catalog for the 2SDK series in North America, and the closest thing circulating is a 330-page scanned repair manual community members trade on the forums, which covers fluids and rebuild procedures but not a fitting size table. The 2SDK8 shares its hydraulic pump, cylinders, and general architecture with the Toyota SDK6/7/8 family and, according to one forum contributor, the parts book circulating is actually for a 3SDK 7-8 but fits the 2SDK8 since it "looks the same."
Since there's no factory dash-size chart to point you to, here's the practical way to get exact sizes off the machine itself:
- Measure hose OD and count wire braids (1-wire braid is typically SAE 100R1, 2-wire is 100R2 — most skid steer main circuits from this era run 100R2 for pressure lines, 100R1 or return-rated hose for case drain/return).
- Check the fitting thread by hand-threading a set of JIC/ORB gauges (most Toyota industrial hydraulics from the 80s-90s use JIC 37-degree flare fittings, occasionally metric ORFS on later Dash 4 models) — don't guess and force a fitting, mismatched threads gall fast under pressure.
- Any hydraulic hose shop (crimp shop, not just a parts counter) can size and crimp a replacement on the spot from the old hose and fitting if you bring both ends in — this is usually faster and cheaper than chasing an OEM part number that likely isn't stocked anywhere in the US.
- For reference, the hydraulic filter cross to NAPA 1551, WIX 51551, DONALDSON P551551, and the drive/main pump has been sourced as an aftermarket replacement rather than rebuilt, since aluminum pumps on this machine aren't really meant to be rebuilt per one owner's experience after a failed reseal attempt.
If you can post which circuit you're chasing (main pump inlet/outlet, lift cylinder, drive motor, or aux), I can narrow down typical sizes seen on that specific line based on known SDK8 rebuilds.
