Hey, borrowed my friends machine and ran over the coupling coming from the grapple bucket. Little valve popped out. Is this repairable in any way?

Is it still possible to attach? The center tube is still sprung it just doesn’t close without the valve that I’m temped to try and press in there

Easier to get a replacement. I had one connector with barely noticeable damage. Had to be replace because it leaked like a sieve. No internal parts for connector were available.

Possibly safer too. With anywhere from 2,000 psi to 4,500 psi; you don't want connector flying off or apart. Keeping in mind, attachment's hoses and fittings can be under pressure when not attached. Thanks to thermal expansion or sitting weight on a part of attachment that raises / lowers it.

Have a grapple which sometimes required pressure be bled down; before connectors could be attached - even with modified Quick-Clamp to force connectors together.
