I have been trying to hook up a quick disconnect for the hydraulic hose for my scissor lift. I got the disconnect from a local HUGE hose supply company. I went in there and had the misfortune of getting the new lady counter helper. I showed her what I needed and my own ignorance of the hydraulic fittings added to her lack of expertise I did not get the proper converters to make it fit.
I went back today and had the great fortune of getting the old grey. He instantly knew what I needed to get from the 1/4 MIP. I needed one MJ x MP and one MP x FJX. A whopping $2.25 and I was in business.
The old grey went to fetch one part and it was right at the end of the closest isle. Then he said the other part is at the far end of the warehouse. He hopped on a little electric scooter and zipped off. It a bit like the warehouse in the first Indiana Jones movie. He said the part could not be further from the first part. He was gone for 4 or 5 minutes.
When the lady went to ring it up she asked if he had written down the part numbers. He just frowned and said I don't need to write something that simple down. The first one is a 2404-01-04 and the other one is a 6505-01-04.
I asked him how long he had worked there and he said 38 years.
