Backhoe Leaks Down...off tractor

[avc8130]

I recently pulled the backhoe from my Kubota L39 to do some brush hogging. I placed it on my driveway. Over the course of a few days, the stabilizers have settled and some fluid has shown up on the ground. I can't find any specific leaks, but today I noticed that one of the plastic connector protectors was off of one of the hoses. Could pressure be releasing through one of the quick connects? Is this normal?

Normally they would not leak, but with wear and tear on the seals in the QD's, you might leak a little fluid, especially with the temps around 75 degrees at night, and about 95 to 100 degrees daytime.

You might look in the QD's and see if any of the rubber seal is extruding/pushed out.

Went to look at the QD and noticed "Hey, it spins!". Bango! Looks like the one female QD was super loose on the elbow. Gave it a good twist with some wrenches. Hopefully that does it.

Our BH leaks down when ON the tractor and definitely leaks down when off the tractor.

I just lower the BH frame onto a 6X6 (or similar, depending on clearance) when I remove it. My landing gear leaks down thru the valve body so I don't have oil on the ground....
