BX23S 4in1 is GONE

[GreensvilleJay]

After spending 1/2 day trying to fix the leak, gave up. In less than an hour I went bought these...

4 of GAT G0490-0604
4 of KUB 7J62666320

and ELIMINATED the leak.....

GALER,the local dealer, had them in stock, KNEW the problem and offered this as the best solution.
I could have replaced the original units on the hoses but heck ,Murphy says if I'd replace #1 and 2, then #3 would start to leak,replace #3, then #4 will leak.....

Now, if it'd dry up here so I can really test them out !!

What are you talking about? What leak?

 

[GeoHorn]

Depends work well for my older bro…. He hates it tho’….

The infamous 4in1 coupler that connects the 4 loader hoses to the loader joystick hydraulics.

So basically, you did this?

That's not a 4 in 1 that a 4 to 4

 

[GreensvilleJay]

yes, picture in #5 is what I did...

well it is 4 couplers in 1 block of metal.......
At the end of the day, it's an upgrade the new owner will probably appreciate.

 

[Russell King]

Didn’t I see something about an upgraded part that is available under warranty for this problem?

 

[GreensvilleJay]

That'd be from Kubota USA, but I'm in Canada,eh ! Showed them the paper, they'd never seen it, Service MGR has installed lots of these 'coupler kits'. Galer sells a LOT of 'orange'.

I just ran into this problem today, what goes wrong with that connector . Seals go out? Just spent an hour taking it on and off, I’ll be looking at your option
