Hi. I spent hours yesterday trying to put my hydraulic lines together for the first time this spring. I am 74 and have arthritis in my thumbs so this is always a tricky affair for me to get done, but yesterday I had zero luck. I am eager to try this technique of hammer/pressure relief. I am giving my hands a break for today, then I'll try it out tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Thanks so much in advance. I hope I have success.
You will never know how much I appreciate your solution to this problem. I’m still a newbie to the tractor environment. I just spent over on hour trying to connect the hose. One tap with the hammer and presto hose connected. I love this hack. Thank you! I just subscribed to your channel!
Thank you so much. I’m female and a senior and love my new tractor but was so disappointed I couldn’t get connector on and thought wow I just wasted 20 grand on something I can’t do! Your a life saver😘😘😘
You saved my holiday weekend. I am about to start a UA-cam Channel myself because of guys like you that we can fall back on when we are having serious difficulties.
Also as a side note, (dealer told me this) if you leave your disconnected implements out in the hot sun, the black hoses will heat up (obviously) and cause the hydraulic fluid to expand causing this same issue. Makes sense to me, I left my backhoe outside one day for several hours and when I went to put it back on, it wasn't gonna go. Did this same trick to relieve the pressure and I was back in business. I have never had this problem when I store my implements indoors. So to all that read this, remember to relieve your pressure before removal, and try not to store the lines in direct sunlight. (unless you have no other options)
Really Helped mew today with an MX loader for my JD 4520. THink it was the sun which had heated up the hydraulic pipes and so increased the pressure. Many thanks from the UK.
Thank you for this tip - saved me a lot of frustration. An easier way to do this is to use a pair of channel lock pliers to push the nub in. This allows you to wrap the connector in a rag and contain the subsequent hydraulic oil misting.
I normally wrap the line with a rag then do that. Just wanted to show the release of pressure for the vid. To avoid this from happening again you have to release the pressure before you remove the bucket. How to Properly Remove The Bucket on 1023E/ 1025R ua-cam.com/video/f3ZHCawxJ3w/v-deo.html
I just had the same issue today and this fixed worked. Thanks my theory is that the reason I had pressure in my lines ones that I took them off when it was like 40° F out. Then I was putting on today when it was 90° F. Thanks again
I usually have this problem if i do not remove the bucket properly. Here's a vid I did on how to avoid this happening in the future. ua-cam.com/video/f3ZHCawxJ3w/v-deo.html
To avoid this you need to remove your bucket in a certain way. You have to remove the hydraulic pressure before removing. Good luck How to Properly Remove The Bucket on 1023E/ 1025R ua-cam.com/video/f3ZHCawxJ3w/v-deo.html
@@JohnnysTipsandTricks my husband did do that and this still happened. We think maybe it was so hot today and yesterday that heated the lines up and increased the pressure
Same thing happened to me today, I ended up using a very small c clap used for crafting and just the slightest accute pressure reset that pin. Thanks for your help!!
Had to do this same thing today on my 1023e. One suggestion for next time, though. Wrap a handful of paper towels around the coupler before tapping on it and releasing the pressure. That way you don't blow hydraulic oil all over yourself and your tractor.
That’s a very good point. I should have mentioned it in the vid. I keep a rag in the box for this reason because it does make a big mess. I didn’t use it for the sake of the video. I’ll add that too the description. Thanks.
i have had to do this exact same thing with my backhoe's hydraulic connections on my 1025R back in April when i counld not get them to connect up. this was after the fact of previously cycling the hoe's control vavles after the engine was shut off. Sometimes this back pressure will just be built up on these spring loaded balls on the male connection side no matter what & i have taken a ball pin hammer to lightly tap these balls until the pressure has been relieved. You should be able to slightly push these spring loaded connector balls in with your finger/thumb after the pressuer has been relieved. Now all the time before i go to hook up the hoe or the front loader, i check these connector balls before hooking together any of the hydralic lines. Awesome video.
I was battling one of my lines today. So frustrating. Didn't see your tip until tonight but I'm sure it would help out this afternoon when it was breaking my hands trying to get it on
I feel your pain. Just remember to decompress the lines before taken them off and you will have to do this less often. If you do do this make sure you use a smooth hammer so you don’t damage the head. Also you can also try to loosen the line at the connection point to release the pressure but I almost broke the line trying this so I always tap the heads to release the pressure. Good luck brother
I've been doing this for a while now. Probably goes without saying but ALWAYS, Always wear safety goggles when doing this. The fluid is under very, very high pressure and comes out like a jet. If it gets into your eye, it could injure/blind you, for sure.
Release pressure works well on leavers but not on electronic buttons so I am doing this most every time. The should have a release valve somewhere along the line.
There was too much pressure built up in my backhoe and I could'nt push it in. It's a brand new JD 1025r and I wasn't going to hit it with a hammer so I just unscrewed the coupler from the hose, re-connected it and it clipped right in. Only took a minute and 2 wrenches.
Hey man just wanna tell he all to be cautious when releasing the pressure. In some cases the leaking streams could be high enough pressure to poke a hole in ya.
Wrap a rag around it covering it up to catch most of the oil mess. This pressure can be built up from the sun heating up the oil causing it to expand with nowhere to go. In other words you can unhook properly and still have this issue when hooking back up later.
I HAVE FLAT FACED CONNECTORS ON MY 665 New Holland skid steer. I wisk I knew the trick to getting them back on my grapple easily. I often need to loosen a line to do so. So time consuming, plus I risk cross threading a connection. ugh!
I had to do this today on my M9960 Kubota... But I was able to disconnect the line in another area, which relieved enough pressure to insert the hose on my grapple.
THIS is the correct way to solve this. Just loosen the connection with a wrench instead of banging on the male connector with a hammer. Way simpler and safer. Doesn’t damage your connectors either.
@@MrChassmith Thanks Brother!!!! Also let me mention something that may help someone too.... I have a 100 hp Kubota and I figured out that it is so much easier to remove lines from couplers using a pair of visegrips on these big tractors when you have to push in and pull out quickly to release the line. :) If you do it right, it doesn't hurt anything.
You can release all the pressure and still have this happen. The hoses are black and will heat up causing expansion and pressure buildup causing a problem as well. Sometimes it is how we park the attachment and if it is off level. It will level itself when sitting and build up pressure. Try to put a cap over the end of some kind when hammering to prevent what I call oil face. Oil face is when oil sprays all over me when it releases pressure when doing this.
much safer way is to go to the other end of the hose and crack the nut to relive the pressure ,i blew the o-ring out from under the plunger by hitting it
Way faster and easier to put a rag down by a fitting and loosen it just a little, been there done that when I forgot to relieve the pressure before I disconnected the fittings.
I’ve been doing it that way for years without messing up the ends as long as you use a smooth head. I just walked out and took a look at the lines. I don’t know why but I thought they where crimped. Well I feel ?@$&:! I will do a video on it again and give you the credit. This channel is for tips and tricks that I know. There’s always a better way. Maybe not so much better like in this case, but usually better. Anyways thanks I appreciate the feed back from you guys.
The line started to twist under the pressure so i backed off. We do this with the mini ex all the time but these lines are so thin i didn't want to risk snapping it.
The sun causes the oil to expand with the heat, so even if you take the pressure off when removing the loader, you know with the engine off, you can still end up with this situation. Happened to me just this last time I removed my loader.
My male coupler is not under pressure because I can push the pin in and hydraulic fluid comes out and it still won’t connect to the female. I tried connecting another hose to the female and it wouldn’t go in either.
The more I work with these Deeres, the more I wish the Japanese made tractors. This is just typical "don't give a shit" design you see in many domestic products. The Japanese would probably have a pressure reliever built into the system somewhere. So you could press a button/turn a lever to release pressure.
Thanks James for the advice. Normally I put a rag over the end but didn't think that would be good for the vid. Mickey17y also made a good suggestion which i didn't think of but probably is a much better solution than hitting it with a hammer.

Johnny's Tips and Tricks yeah def dont use a hammer if you deform that ball it will cause it to leak,i do use a rag and push down on a brick works every time ,first time i did it i wore alot of hydraulic fluid but its all about learning from the bad
I spent two hours today flushing out the receptacles and trying to insert black and yellow I have had this tractor for 15 years! I finally figured it out by trying to install a male fitting into one of the out board for up and down and that was a NOGO. Then I checked the blue male end and it flexed. Then I tried black and no yielding. Pressure from where after 15 years of no problems? So I grabbed a C clamp and depressed the black male tit and it shot across the shop. Then everything was fine. But the root cause of this remains unknown. But it was a pain in the ass because I needed my bucket on not two hours of going WTH!
That is the worst way to do it those couplings rely on those nipples to push each other in when they are joined. If you can’t connect them loosen the fitting with spanners
Just saying.... There are 4 functions on the loader. Some times you have to wait a minute. You have to do all 4 functions, I do it 2 times... And give pause in between. I sell Tractors every day and own this 1025r.... You should never need a hammer. You didn't drain the pressure enough. I guess if it was a emergency that kept you from doing a function like a break down... but that should not be the case!
Might be one of the worst and unsafe tips, on a small machine like that maybe not as bad but hydraulic injection is no joke, better off slightly cracking a JIC fitting on a cylinder.
DO NOT DO THIS. Good way to lose a hand or eye. Just search hydraulic line injury. A friend literally lost an arm doing this. If you HAVE to release the pressure, you loosen the nut SLOWLY where the line meets the unit until a bit of air or fluid come out and tighten it back up. NEVER wack the end of the connector, really stupid. Wear heavy gloves (not that they will help much), and eye protection and keep your hands/body/face out of the way of any potential spray. But the smart thing to do is just wait for it to cool off.
