Pics of my creation. I cut the tolerance too tight and the ball pivot should have been at least 1/4" further away from vertical piece.

Hey guys,

Been a long time since I posted… like since my last issue with the PT.

Anywho, I keep noticing that I am getting a steady drip from the male quick attach. Yesterday I installed a rather large hydraulic cooler and then tried to see how hot the hydraulics would get (pics coming soon) and attached my stump grinder. When I was removing it I had it idled down all the way with the PTO off and when I disconnected it fluid started spraying out of the quick attach. I **** down the tractor I checked the PTO lever and it was definitely off but I don’t know why fluid would continue to come out when disconnected. It didn’t happen again when I started the tractor back up… any ideas? Should I just swap the QA fitting?

BTW, the hydraulic cooler worked great. I used my weber IQ with a probe in the resovoir to see how hot it would get and the max temp I saw was 153 with the brush cutter while trying to heat the fluid. I will post up pictures when I clean up the installation b/c I am NOT proud of how it looks. I have to wait for a fitting to come in to mount it straight.

I know when i replaced my oil cooler with a larger unit it made a world of difference on my little machine. Im running a 60 inch bruc cutter on my 2425 and have no over heat issues here in Ga with 95 degree temps.

I was changing the whole valve. I ended up just putting the old one back in. Now my PTO lever is spewing fluid. I’m waiting for the o rings to come in. I have an assortment of them, but they are ALL THE WRONG SIZE just my luck.
