BX quick connect loader coupler leaking

[redharley]

just wandering if anyone else had or has this issue, my quick connect loader coupler is leaking and making a mess of the garage floor. Tried to tighten up but it appears to be leaking out the female side of the coupler when hooked up. Any replacement parts or just get a new coupler, some other's on other eqipment had and o-ring in there but I sure don't see any. Thanks in advance for the info. Bill;

There is one in there, if it were missing you would be flooding out of that connection.
You will need to look again, it's just below the locking balls.

Kubota BX uses standard Parker couplers so they are easy to get and not very expensive. I have replaced a couple on my BX25.

Kubota wanted $25 dollar per coupling a couple of years ago. Took some measurements and found the o-rings can be replace.
That is what I did...been working for years
O-ring part # M83248/1-015 very inexpensive fix. There is a plastic back-up ring that does not need to be removed.

I know this is a very old thread but hopefully this message will get back to everyone here.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, A thousand thank-yous!

Because of the information here I was able to get rid of the 1 bane of my existence, the Kubota quick connect.

I tried everything including rocking it back and forth and a clamp to help tighten it down replacing parts, nothing worked.

It got to the point where after I used the tractor for more than an hour, I had hydraulic fluid all over the deck, quick connect and with the sand and dirt we have, it turned into a giant nasty mess.

After seeing this thread it directed me to another tractor forum and thread which led me to the solution and the list of parts I needed.

Took some scrounging to get everything as a local hydraulic shop only had three, quarter inch quick connects and I ordered another one from Amazon.

I used the tractor today for the first time since the repair and I was almost in tears as there was absolutely no leakage whatsoever!

I think it was the first time since the first year I bought the tractor, that the deck didn't have hydraulic fluid all over it and the coupling wasn't covered in hydraulic fluid!

Everything was Dusty , dry and beautiful!

Just in case I didn't say it enough, let me see it one more time, thank you to everyone in this thread.
