Can't get grapple line connected to 3rd function

[txdon]

When you do that, do you losen the fitting, connect the coupler, then tighten the fitting back up? Or do you just losen the fitting for a sec, then tighten it back up, then connect the coupler?

I just loosen the fitting to relieve the pressure, a small amount of hydraulic fluid will come out and then I tighten it back up and connect the coupler, about a second or so . . .

Here are a couple ideas from my projects file and this old thread: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/131755-help-my-stucchi-disconnect.html

You are welcome, Richard.

I have learned a lot on TBN, just trying to pass it on.

This should help you out.

That's why I like Ag connectors as you can whack them on anything to bleed off pressure.

I have such big swings in ambient temperature that I can have vacuum or pressure built up in an attachment depending on what the temp was when I disconnected, and what temperature it is when I reattach it.

Some flat-face couplers will allow hooking up under pressure: Hooking and unhooking hydraulic hoses under pressure for Ku - YouTube

save your self some headaches and put ag couplers back on. the clamps xfaxman made will work but you can damage a fitting if you put to much force on them.
