Bobcat aux hookup leaking

[Mitch500]

Hello,

Is the aux hookup quick connects rebuild able? One is leaking from the ball on the end.

that is not the typical Bobcat hookup, looks like a Pioneer fitting

Most quick connects are not set up to be rebuilt.

They are not that expensive and pretty easy to change out if you have the correct size wrenches.

The old pioneer connections are dirt cheap. My old machines had them on them. After I got the S 510 I changed to the flat face connectors on all my attachments and the 542B so I could use everything on both machines without changing couplers back and forth.
That was about $600.00. Those are about 8 times the price of the pioneers.
I have a drawer full of the pioneers now. LOL, probably never use them.

pioneers have a lower flow rate compared to that of a flat faced connector so if you are running some attachments that have a hydroulic motors it would be a good move to a flat faced connector. If all you use just uses a cylinder go either way.

agree re the flow, good gor grapple or forks however not good for auger or brush mower, last time I replaced flat face connectors they were 150 for a pair
