Can't reattach backhoe to BX23S
- Thread starter nourishablegecko

That's what my dad calls a small crib block. Never told me where the name came from; probably coal mine related.
Around here,
Cribbing blocks are used to support a structure when lifting.... commonly used when jacking up a house to replace sil plates or foundation etc.
There might be other definitions of the word but that's what I've always understood it to be.
usually hard wood timbers. but I have seen soft woods used also.
Today I couldn't reconnect my BX23S backhoe to the tractor, and as described in this thread, I can't connect the male connector to the female connector on the rear right side of the tractor. A female connector is mounted to a steel pipe on the tractor. I assumed there might be pressure in the lines, so I removed the male connector from the rubber hose to relieve it, but it didn't help. Then I tried installing just the male connector into the female connector by itself, not attached to the hose, thinking that if there was any residual pressure on that side of the line, the open back end would relieve it. The male will insert fully into the female connector; however, it will not lock in place.
My next step was to remove the 2 rubber lines I had connected from the backhoe to the tractor, then reconnect the rubber line that connects to the female line when you remove the backhoe, but it still won't fully engage. My question is: "Do these female couplers fail, or is there something else that I can try before replacing the female coupler? Your assistance will be gratefully appreciated.

when i run into couplera like this i use a xboom qcmate to juat force the connector to connect up. much easuer than monkeying around. its not a cheap tool but it works well.

I have a "special tool" that I "designed" to help connect my couplers when they are hard to connect, by smacking the male end.
No copying my "design" please.....

No amount of smacking would fix a defective coupler. I replaced it in disgust, and the replacement works just fine. I will have to get the correct one from Kubota, but Messicks new way of looking up parts doesn't work for me. For the replacement I used, you have to align the slot with the raised dot to remove the coupling, unlike the original, which didn't have that locking feature.
