I figured I'd make a new thread other then my Float Thread. In my journey trying to disassemble my loader joystick. I can't disconnect my hydrolic. the collar will not slide up or down or turn.

Any idea ?

It's a 2008 and I don't think they have ever been disconnected before.

Move the loader joystick around to relieve pressure first. Wear cloth gloves to give you a better grip on the collars.

also make sure that the collars on the disconnect don't have a little tab on one side that has to line up with a detention on the collar to be released. You probably don't, but I have that on my skidsteer (not on my tractor though)

Make sure the pressure is relieved in the lines

I have wigle the stick in all possible direction. I dont think there is presure in the hose anymore.

As for the tab that might need to alligned. I do mot see any. I can't turn the collard or pressdown on them or up.


I have tried to spay then with break clean, then penetrating oil.

I'll make a video tomorow. It's dark now.

The previus owner never disconected them. It's a 2008 and it sleeped outside in a sand pit all it's life.

You’ve probably tried pressing down on elbow as you try to lift collar? Don’t just wiggle stick, move it full range a few times.

I fight this problem on my grapple from time-to-time. Usually, it's just a matter of getting angry and screaming at them. On occasion, I've had to loosen a hose to relieve a little pressure.

To me it looks like the collar needs to be slid up to release , but it does look like it would be pretty difficult to get a decent grip on them. If the lines have much pressure in them they will probably be impossible to disconnect.
After your sure the pressure has been relieved Maybe try prying them up from the bottom with some kind of pry bar.
Hopefully someone else on this forum has the same setup and will be able to post some pictures showing how those connectors are supposed to work.

cussing is always good. but, loosening a line is first. then get some vice grips on them and get them to turn. finally you have to push on the male end when you disengage them.

Get a big adjustable wrench and adjust it to fit the edge of the collar and tap with a hammer. See if it moves. You might need to blow the crud out of it with a compressor. Then more oil. More tapping. So on...

So the collard need to be press up or down?

When you guys say lose a hose witch hose should I be lousen?

I uave try with chanellock plyer to rotate, to go up and to go down witout luck. I have one of the 4 conector that If I press down on the elbow while trying to raise the collard i can feel some mouvement but it's verry minimal like 2 milimiter (sorry french canadian here) stuck with the metric. :)

Anyway it mouve litel maybe by maybe 1 /16 or 1 /32.. but will not release.

Those are the same connectors as on my 2310. They can move either up or down to release, but when they're connected you don't have room to easily move them downward -- so pull them UP to release, while pushing down on the elbow above to relieve the spring pressure inside the connector.

PS-- you might want to remove that plastic cover -- I've found it just gets in the way and having it off makes it easier to see connections there for leaks, etc.

I tried to punch down on the elbow (1) and to push the collar up (2). event tried to pry it up with a flat screew driver. I'm limited on the amount of force I can apply with the screw driver has I'm puching aigaint a platic cover. so no luck.

Look like I'll have to dissemble the Hose (3).

Only problem Winter started and my ATV that I normaly use to plow does not start... Freaking Polaris....I hae to repair that ASAP. at the moment my tractor is working so I don't want a break it yet. I'll way that I repair the ATV. with luck that should be all sorted out this weekend and then I can get back on trying to fix the tractor.

Try putting some UP pressure on collar and rap male side (elbow) sharply with plastic or rubber mallet to "release" an internal tensions...

no luck... when I look at the collar from downward. I can see there are 2 ring in the collar. I try to pry the outerward ring. I can see there some kind of rust in there as well but i can't sray penetrating oil from under. I hadded some more penetrating oil on the top with luck it might go dow over time.

Do you have float positions on your controller ? If so, with the tractor off, make sure you move the joystick to both float positions several times, make sure you get past the detents, and then try to remove the cables once again.

Could you show us a picture with 1 of the hoses disconnected ?

Malheureusement, it does seem they are rusted internally... Keep trying!

Soak the sliding collar with PBlaster and let it sit a while. Probably has crud in it. Might take more than one soak. I have that issue myself.

I have soak them with break clean then I have been adding PB Blaster for the past 2 days without luck. i'l continue to add some PB blaster evry couple of hours. might go dows the street to my friend garage to try to spray compress air in all possible angle. that could maybe remouved some dust that the break clean could not remouved.

Hold 1 and loosen 3. They are annoying and can be a bugger, but, with no pressure on them you shouldn't have to pry much if any.

Get all the pressure off one (loosen the hose) and see if you can manage it.

It might be worth getting a little help before you break something? Tight spot and hard to get the qd, imagine breaking an elbow or something.

Best,
