TN 70 Rear Hydraulics

koamfps · Apr 9, 2012

Ok this may sound dumb but here it is. My Rear hydraulics on my TN70 have no release on the female end to remove my hoses. I have to use a screw driver to release the hoses my pushing in the outer ring on the female side. It this standard?
I know this is a Pain in the A** is there an easier way..

You should be able to push the male end in and then make a quick pull to get it out. Sort of all in one quick motion.

These can be a real pain. I had to replace 3 or 4 of my couplers. You push real hard and pull real fast.

I took them apart and found that they had rust behind the release collar. I replaced the first one with the same thing. It is ~3x what the cheaper manual release coupler cost (what came on the A or D models). I replaced the other ones with the cheaper manual one. On the manual one you push the outer ring to release the coupler. Much easier to remove in the long run (I don't remove mine often as they are used with the loader).
