I have searched this forum and the WWW and I have not been able to find anything like this. Is this a rare event?
We have never disconnected the lines and we have had this JD 790 with bucket & scraper for about 12 years - second owners. I was not driving the tractor when this happened but as far as I know, there was no warning and the bucket got stuck in the upright position. As stated, bucket is stuck in the up position and does not raise anymore and appears to be at maximum height and it does not lower. The bucket itself rolls back and forth. As far as the pieces, I was working on gravel and after I removed the coupler, I found these pieces and then ran a magnet over the area and I could not find anything else. I am guessing that one of these pieces could be from something else but I am not certain as I was not able to find a schematic for the coupler. Perhaps as important, am I missing any pieces?
Is this as simple as changing out the coupler or do I need to worry that there are other pieces somewhere in the hose/line? Any idea why this coupler would fail?
Thank you.
