I guess they are just tight and being behind the loader mount mast only lessons have a bit of leverage.

I’m thinking I may have to take the right floor board off and then take the line to the vice for removing the couplers.

If loctite warming the connection may help soften the loctite. 200 - 250 degrees F should soften most loctite varieties. That temp shouldn’t hurt the oil either. Just don’t be stupid like me and get it broke loose and then grab it to spin it off by hand

Does this look like the right size of couplers? My loader AG couplers look smaller than my 1/2” AG couplers for my remote valve.

I need two pair anyway for a grapple.

Should I look at getting both the male and female versions of the coupler or just the female side?

I would replace male and female sides.

I suspect they are 1/2" ag. Here is a good link to an ID guide

couplers with quality units from Parker, Safeway, Faster, or Dixon before messing with the valve

The link you have is not a known quality coupler. They are cheap for a reason. For the cost I would buy quality so you do not introduce additional problems. Below is a link for Parker 1/2" body 1/2" NPT connect under pressure, poppet style couplers.

For the grapple, here is the mounting bracket for the above couplers.

Here are the dust plugs for the grapple couplers.

Hope this helps.

Sorry I was more referring to the size I’m having a hard time finding the male end for New Holland version (COUPLING 3/8" NPTF) Part# 9846343.

I will look at the sites you mentioned to see what they have.

I found them on Tractor Supply and they are Pioneer brand and they are a good price.

Sounds good, sorry if I came across as harsh. I am Leary of the off brand couplers based off of some bad experiences.

You didn’t I just wasn’t clear and didn’t have a lot of time to find the NH version.

I’m glad I looked at TSC online as the local store had only 1/2” couplers and only one set.

Well swapping out both (both sides of each too) the couplers on circuit that raises and lowers the loader arms did NOT fix it.

It still only lowers when in the float position and still creeps up in the neutral (no movement position) at the same rate as when this started happening.

So I guess the next thing is to either rebuild the loader valve or replace it.

Only thing semi-rebuildable on the valve would be the centering spring and detent assembly. Not really anything else to rebuild in the valve since the spool is a metal to metal fit in the bore.
