7753 Aux. Hyd. Question

[Corkwheats]

Hi Guys, I am the new owner of a sweet Bobcat 7753. Very excited - it is an awesome machine. One thing I have discovered, however - the Aux. Hyd. couplers aren't the same as standard Bobcat Flat Face couplers. I went to hook up my grapple, and no dice. I was researching a bit, and think that I should maybe go ahead and upgrade the ones on the machine, instead of converting the attachments I get. Questions - How difficult is it to change these puppies on the machine? Do you just un-screw them, and screw the new ones on? Would I just go buy another set (M & F) of Flat Face couplers, and replace the ones that are on there? Can I get the right ones on line? Ant help would be appreciated. I'm a newbie to this, and wanna do it right. Also, I'm on vacation all this week, and need to get this bad boy to work. Thanks, Bob U.P. of Michigan

I know there will be disagreement with this but I would take one off the grapple , go to the bobcat dealer and they will set you up with the right ones for about $50-$70 a set and they probably wont leak. Put good ones on the machine and cheaper ones on attachments if you have to.

I had the connectors on my 753 switched out to the "new" style last time I had the machine in for service. Right around $100 or so.

Thanks for the input, Gents. So......all I need to do is get the M & F new style, flat face coupler set, and un-screw the old aux. couplers, and screw these on? That's it? Where can you buy these online? Anybody know? Thanks, Bob
