Leaking Hydraulic

[rbcsaver]

One of my FEL (7510) hydraulic disconnect fittings is leaking. The dealer didn't adress it when asked to, while under warranty. My brother said that there should be an O ring just above the bearings. Unfortunately, I'm not at home for a few days to see if that is the problem. Anyone know if there is an O ring inside the female connect and the size? Hate to pay dealer rates for and O ring that I can get elsewhere. Thanks for your help
regards, Steve

Yes, there is an o-ring in the female connector past the ball bearings. If there is the slightest deformation, dirt, or nick it will leak. I had to pull my o-ring out, clean the sand out of the groove, and all was fine. Yes, you can get debris under the o-ring too...

Any tractor dealer shuld have an assortment of O rings if you have to replace it. Just take the old one in and they can match it up, those things are pretty much standard sizes.
