Skid Steer Help

[2Lazy2P]

Had a large, dead pecan limb fall and bust a hose on my tree puller. It pretty much busted the hose in two behind the crimp. I can’t unhook the coupler from the machine. Any advice?

Take a mallet/hammer give it a love tap forward. Locks like it is in a bind/cocked sideways. And then try to remove it.

I’ve tried love tapping, hate tapping, it ain’t budging.

It’ll spin freely, just won’t release. Pressure has been released on the machine side

Take the whole connection off and put a new one on

This. Take the fitting off of the machine with a big old wrench and the hydraulic shop that makes your new hose will get it apart. Mine was tough to get broke loose on my Kubota. Gave me an excuse to buy a set of huge Harbor Freight wrenches.

You can also spray lube around it and that may get her loose.

You can't push it in to relieve the pressure? Can usually push it in the tap the collar back with a hammer to get it off. If not then like stated above taking the fitting off will work.

It most likely tweaked coupler a little. Those FF couplers are so finicky. Rubber mallet to the sleeve is ur best bet. I wouldn’t be scared to hit the bottomn and knock it up on there good first before trying to unlock. Sometimes u gotta put big Chanelloks on the sleeve then hit them with hammer.

Ain't no pressure on it with the hose tore off. Should shoot a stream of hydraulic fluid out that open coupling end if it cranks up.

Had my grapple fall off (forgot to hit the lock button) and it tore the hose off and showered the area in fluid. Even when I shut the auxiliary hydraulics off it, it still sprayed. I had to shut the machine down to get it to stop.

I ended up just taking it off the machine side before I tore something else up. I’ll take it by the hydraulic shop tomorrow. Thank y’all.

Where are you just curious what shop u go to?

[2Lazy2P]

I’m north of Sulphur Springs. I usually have my hoses made up at A-1, and there’s a shop on HWY 19 that has redone some cylinders for us.

Get a screw driver and a hammer. Try tapping the inner lock ring back to release it.

I’ve had a couple do that and the couplers were tweaked just enough to make them stick together. I replace both of them when it hapless, even if you get them apart your going to end up with a leaking connection immediately or in the near future.

If you have the ability I’d recommend building a shield to protect that area, it’s definitely going to happen again at some point regardless how hard to try to avoid it,

I’ve been looking at how I can build a shield for it. They have some out there you can buy, but I think I can build one and have more clearance for hooking and unhooking the lines.
