[QUOTE="Chalmers, post: 112249, member: 15979"] I have searched here but found nothing so am asking for some guidance.Included below are some details that may help others. I have a Bobcat 2011 ,T320 with "High Flow". It has 3 (not5)couplers on the Block,the small one is the Case Drain. One or more of the couplers on the Block are leaking. I suspect the O ring inside the male nose .All the external O rings and packing look good. So I decided to replace either all the O rings or if N/A , all the cartridges. I have failed to find any O ring kits for the cartridges. Any sources ? Just take the old seals to "Hose Man" ? I dismantled the male cartridge from the "Faster"Block ,it is a 46mm body-so the old style. The parts offered online muddle 46mm and 48mm so be careful just eyeballing replacements ! The other gotcha is there are 2 very similar looking Faster Blocks for 46/48mm bodies. The newer one is 4BD4FH. The older one on my machine is 4bd4 FF.
