Loader Quick Disconnects leaking

rjgogo · May 26, 2013

The hydraulic quick disconnects on my 2305 loader are leaking badly when I disconnect them to take the loader off to mow the lawn. It happens with about two of them. The fluid just pours out. I have tried to push the pin in to see if that resets it but it really just does nothing. It is the male ends that are leaking. Eventually they stop but not after a big pool of fluid on the garage floor.

Any ideas? Thanks, Rob.

Have you tried to roll the ball around and see if you've got some crud in the end of the connector? You might have a nick or a small flat spot along the periphery of the ball, too. I'd try to move it all around and look for debris or some damage to the ball.

To correct the leak I think you'll have to replace the male tips.

Thanks, Guys, I guess I have to replace. There is no ball, it is a short black plastic cylinder sticking out the top, I went on line to look for a replacement and they all have the ball, I could not find anything with the tiny black cylinder push down. I guess I will have to go to the dealer. it is a 2007.
