Aux. Hyd. connections leaking

[redfish1]

I have a qustion and hope it is not a stupid one, but the bigger of the two Aux. Hyd. connections on my 1998 751 is leaking and i was wondering if there is any way to rebuild these or do you just have to by new ones. I didnt know if there were o-rings in there that can be replaced or rebuilt. I dont have in attachments other than a bucket and have never even used these connections. Can i just take these connections off and put caps on them until i buy an attachment that needs them? Thanks for the help.

If they are flat face, you *can* but i have no idea how and i believe you need special tools to do it as well.
The standard ones can be done too, they have an O ring on the poppet that seals.

Tazza, I think i am going to take them off and try it. Its leaking any way. The worst thing that could happen is that i will have to buy another one. I will post a reply if it works and let every one know how its done and hopefully save somebody else some money. Thanks again

Agreed, you have nothing to loose.
