[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 10413, member: 782"] I think the flat face couplers that are in the manifold block on new Bobcats are a failure for the customer and know that they are a gold mine for the dealers , as my local dealer told me since Katrina hit and demo and clean up is in progress that the quick couplers sold more than any other part , and they are not cheap the female is going for $138 -------a lot of guys don't take precautions such as the D -rings to route the hoses to the grapples or attachments and they hook the hoses on trash or the tracks and rip the quick couplers right out the manifold --------the local hydraulic shops have the flat face for the attachment end but charge more than the dealer for them , the manifold style is not avaiable aftermarket --------------did you know that there is a seal that is replaceable in the male flat face , they use to be $5.00 but I have not bought one in a while , they are really hard to get in without damaging it , and usually when they start to leak it's because the vibration and surging causes the ball bearings of the female quick coupler to make dents in the male side which makes it fit loose and the new seal don't work [/QUOTE]
