Flat or pioneer couplers

[k0ua]

Are flat faced (almost looks like a point) and Ag (round ball) interchangeable or do both sides have to be the same? Reason I ask is the backhoe I bought but haven't hooked up yet (will soon) has I guess what you guys are calling flat faced female couplers and my LS has the round Ag type? Just wondering if I have to switch the backhoe fitting (backhoe fitting looks like a ISO 7241-1 Series A in that chart posted earlier) ... this will be the first hydraulic implement that I have 'added'.

No, flat face, are flat faced. you are describing poppet style. Which could be ISO 5675 or they could be the ISO-7241 you mentioned
Normally round ball and Poppet style connectors can work together. But Flat face only works with the matching Flat face.

Look at these safeway s20 series.. they are poppet style but will work (most of the time) with round ball AG's

here are ISO 16028 flush face connectors.

Thanks for educating me on this ... yea, I called it the wrong thing. I looked on the tractor and I have the 'poppet' style on my rear remotes which matches the backhoe.

Since I'm asking dumb questions ... what is the best way to clean the female quick connect ports?

Not dumb at all. WD40 works great for this, flushes out dirt and debris very well.

To my knowledge, all (major) OEM's are currently using poppet style QD's v.s the ball style-and have been for at least 10 years or so. Most are using the ISO 56575 "AG" style, but a few sneak in a ISO 7241 "A" or "B" every now and then, I've been trying to keep the chart on the website current as I can verify models/styles.

Thanks! I was thinking brake cleaner but I see there is a rubber seal in there and I figure that would be a bad idea ... plus I didn't know if some could get past the valve and break down/contaminate the fluid so I've just been using a rag and my finger and doing the best I could but was wanting something I could spray in there and blast the dirt out.

There are many feminine hygiene products on the market... Especially for the quick connect type.

I guess I walked into that one.

Didn't your tractor come with dust caps for the QD's? Keep the dust caps inserted when not using the QD's. If there is dust or dirt around QD's, when you want use them, use air gun around QD's before pulling the dust caps.

Yes but dirt still finds a way in somehow, especially on the loader. I try to plug the caps together when FEL is connected but they come apart and dirt gets all into the caps too.

Plus, mine is a 2011 so it's not as pretty as yours now.
