My newer JD5055d has remotes where one simply presses the male fitting into the coupler from the implement and to remove, pull out. My MF50 and a Ford 3000 have "rigged" remotes that have what look to me like large air hose quick disconnects. There is a hood with a series of balls that when the hood retracts, the balls loosen and the male hose come out. Aside from size/diameter, they look like something on an air compressor.
These newer remotes on my JD are a pain in the buttox to connect and disconnect. I've got the right male fitting on my haybine and last year with a seed drill that had a hydraulic lift. The male fitting is easy enough to attach, but unplugging can be very difficult.
I ain't getting any younger and between older age setting in, my hand grip not being the strength of a 30 year old (I think I've got some carpel tunnel setting in) and hydraulic fluid everywhere making for a slick everything....
I'm wondering if I can make a new to old hydraulic fitting/adapter as a go between using the older style hydraulic with hood and balls type fitting. Something where it's easy enough to push the hood back and release the fittings.
Sorry for the wimpy post..... ;-)
Any ideas are appreciated.
