[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 3163, member: 26"] I have had three flatface connectors go bad in the past few months. The failure mode seems to be O-rings getting a chunk taken out of them when the connectors are being mated or unmated. It has always happened when the connections were difficult to make (still a little pressure on the lines). The two females that went bad were from Skidsteer Solutions, only a few months old (my next email is to them), and the male that went bad is about two years old, from Bobcat. None of the connectors have more than maybe 20 or 30 mate-unmate cycles on them, and have not been abused in any way (no heat, very little dust, no sideways force, no mechanical abuse, didn't pry on the connectors with a screwdriver, etc). The hydrostatic fluid was changed 18 months ago and I used Bobcat Hydrostatic fluid. Anyone else have this problem, or have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Tnx, ---Bob [/QUOTE]
