Leaking LP grapple

[racerboy]

I have the SCG0554 grapple and I definitely use it for all it’s worth. After moving some boulders today, I noticed that the grapple frame just below the hydraulics was soaked in oil. It was getting too dark to do anything, but even the lower hydraulic hose was pretty wet. Is it possible I damaged the hose or so you think the fittings just might have come loose?

Yes- possibly both. Spray it diwn with brake cleaner so you can locate the leak.

My WAG is one of those fittings is a bit loose.

Or possibly more than one

Ok. Thanks. I’ll clean it up tomorrow and check all the fittings

My dog peed on my tractor and grapple last year. He was jealous of the time I spent on the tractor and he can't ride in it. Cab's too small.

Next day, I thought that I had a leak. Nope, just angry pee.
