My front hydraulic couplers are leaking while connected. I replaced the O-rings a while back but couldn't remember the part number so I looked it up. The parts manual shows the O-ring R26448 but also shows a washer M44079. I don't recall having this washer inside mine. The sub number 32246 is the same for both parts. So is (or was) there supposed to be 2 O-rings as indicated by the old sub number? The washer is rubber too. I was expecting it to be Teflon.

If I remember right, the O ring is a number 13 which can be bought almost anywhere. I only have one O ring in my couplers, and they need replacing fairly often.
I usually keep several on hand so I can quickly replace them as they start leaking.

Looks like the O-rings listed in the parts manual must be inside the coupler. I pick-up 4 at the JD dealer this morning and they were much smaller. So I started digging through my spare parts and found 6 more of the size I don't need. As I recall now I think they were #113. Looking at my leak problem the O-ring looks fine but the male coupler is pitted, so most likely the source of my leak.

If the male is pitted or worn mike, you will have to replace it to stop leak, it should not be more than $5-7 dollars for male nipple,
