Hi all, my plow conetors on my tractor side leak I understand there are orings in them, has anyone ever changed the oringsand is it pretty simple to replace?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Orings aren't terrible. Good oring pick and replace with the correct Oring. May not stop the leak but worth the try vs new connectors.

My new Deere O - ring replacements did not stop my leaking of one of the front couplers on the tractor. I guess a replacement of the coupler is in order.

That's the question I was going to ask, RLC. If the O-ring doesn't stop the drip, do I replace the connectors?. Thanks. I should replace the hoses, too, I guess. They seem a little worn.

Thank you, probably worth replacing the connectors sounds like the correct fix sometimes going the cheep way isn't the right way.
Thanks for the info.

That's the only course I will follow at this point. After spending a minimum dollar amount at specialty company that was close to me, for o rings, that did not stop my leak. Even tho they were to JD specs. If my memory serves me well, the o ring size was #113 and 90 durometers. (Hardness).
Went to JD for new o rings, still leaks. I am at JD's mercy for new connectors. Hopefully they are not a bear to replace on the tractor.

You must type faster than I do.

I just had a leak also and replacing the orings fixed it up. They came in a pack of 100 so I have more than I will ever need. I can mail you some, if you would like to try that first.

Thanks for the offer.
I had replaced several o rings which were new into the leaking coupler, and it still leaks some, enough to be annoying. I have a order in at JD Parts and will add a coupler.

Ben G, I wouldn't mind a couple of those. I just picked up a 322 that is super nice except for a leaking connector. Email in profile if you are open to it.

No problem. If anyone else needs any send me an email.

Holding off on the purchase of a new coupler.
In looking in JD Parts catalog, I see their is a o-ring on the back side of the coupler, between the fitting. Perhaps that is where my leakage is originating from. Will need to investigate as soon as it warms up a bit.

For how cheap an oring is-try it first. Replacing the connector isn't the most fun as there is a snap ring on the back that isn't much fun to get on/off. Hoses-up to you but they never blow when you want them too-only when you NEED to use the thing. FYI-you can get the connectors from a farm parts store as well (my fleet farm had them). Only a few $$ cheaper though since they are expensive no mater where you go.

I agree, o-ring first. I was concerned about buying a Non JD coupler, not having my coupler removed first. Need to remove 54 blade first off the tractor, storing it for next winter. I thought I remembered that the coupler needed that groove in it for attachment.
STILL waiting for warmer weather.
Thanks,

Here in Iowa ground is still frozen. This time in past years farmers were in the fields by now.

Global warming, where are you when we need you?

Climate change, look at the history books and beyond been changing for millions of years!
