Problem with John Deere quick disconnects

Double J · Sep 18, 2011

I need some help/advice, I removed the 200x loader from my 2210 today with no trouble. Later I went to install it and I can't get two the the quick disconnects to connect. I've had this loader off a half a dozen times in the past with no problems what so ever. Everything is clean, the seal on the female end of the connection looks good. This has got me puzzled.....

Pressure has built up in the loader, most likely from a temperature change. Take a rag and place it over the male QD nipple, and then press it against the loader frame to relieve just a spurt of fluid, it will easily connect now. If so much pressure has built up that you cannot do that-then you may need to use two wrenches to loosen them for just a second.
