Removing a Koyker 155 loader that doesn't have quick disconnects.

Yep a couple of Pioneer ISO coupler sets and a couple of pipe nipples and you will be set. Kinda surprised it isn't set up like that already but shouldn't be. Have worked with quite a few botched loader installations over the years.

Well thank you fellas for the great advice and info. I ordered the Pioneer ISO couplers and am going to pick up the nipples at TSC tomorrow. I also ordered a 12" hyd hose with 1/2" male NPT fittings and and extra set of the male pioneer ISO couplers as a loop on the tractor pump fittings (see photo). I was an electrician at Whirlpool when I retired and never learned the various hydraulic fittings so at nearly 80 years old I need the help of you guys who know these things. I could troubleshoot hydraulics in an industrial setting pretty good so it helped with working with machine repairmen.

I have to rebuild the bucket cylinder pistons and glands as well so I want to have the quick coupler fittings before I put everything back together and add all new hyd fluid. Hate doing things twice. Thanks for all the help.

Got my quick couplers installed and made up a jumper hose to route the delivery back to return port. I really appreciate the advice and info you fellas gave me. I have one bucket cylinder rebuilt and had to take the other one to a hydraulic shop as I could not break the gland loose even with an 18" pipe wrench and 3' pipe. On the cylinder I rebuilt, the gland packing and wipers were easy but the piston cups were all I could do even heated to 160 F in hydraulic oil. Getting old ain't for sissies as my older brother tells me. Hoping to get the other cylinder back in a day or so and going to change out the hydraulic oil while it's down. Can someone tell me if this can is in the lower part of this photo with hyd pipe hooked to it, is a filter? I thought the hyd filter was under the seat under that three holed plate but no filter in there.
