[QUOTE="thetool, post: 22352, member: 1534"] Hey Fishfiles- A while back, before Bobcat started offering the individual couplers on the block, as you know, you had to buy the entire block if one of the couplers failed. Gehl had a machine with the exact same block, and they weren't so proud of theirs, so folks would go down to the Gehl dealer and buy it there and save a few bucks. I wonder if the individual couplers are now available from Gehl now also. I have as yet to come across a coupler job since on my own so I haven't found out. Since two manufacturers use that exact same block, it has to be made by somebody. I like that system. Seems like there was an awful lot of moaning about bleeding pressure to connect/disconnect before they came out with that block. All the incidents of pulling, hanging up, etc also caused damage to the old school system. Replacing couplers, straightening or fabbing up and welding on a new mount, even replacing tublines was and still is common with the old style system. [/QUOTE]
