This is the second time I've had my FEL off my tractor, and I need to reinstall it, but cannot get the bucket quick disconnects (QDs) reconnected (Blue and Red). The raise and lower QDs (White and Yellow) will connect, but not the bucket QDs. I have cross connected the couplers to ensure the control valve male ends are not damaged, and that works fine, but the female bucket line QDs will not connect to any of the male ends. This leaves me suspecting that I have excess pressure built up (unlikely that two QDs are bad at the same time) that I'm not able to overcome by pushing down on the QD to connect it.
Is there a trick that I'm not aware of? Has anyone experienced this issue and figured it out?
I'm at the point where I think I need to break the female QD loose at the line and bleed some of the pressure, but I'm concerned that the bucket will move causing the FEL to fall off the little stilts that are holding it up (remember, it's not on the tractor).
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
