This may be old news and everybody else has done it but I thought I would post anyway. The 7080 had been leaking through the coupler center part on 1 of them, quite a bit. Hey at least the sway block won't rust.  Took it apart, thought maybe it was an O ring, of course not. The seal in the end is clamped into the unit when built. It's original # is Bruning CM-401F. Local parker dealer did not have any parts breakdown. Too late today to call Sandy Lake. Thought about it and I had some pioneer fittings for another project. Most of the male ends on the implements here are pioneer already.  Took the new ones apart and they are the same diameter, just a little shorter. The top one is a dixon brand and the one I took apart is a pioneer unit. NOTE the check balls will fall out when you take that end cap off, UHH they went everywhere.  Put the old end on so the snap ring would clip it on and the lever would work to release it.  It fit on perfect, just a little shorter.  I went ahead and did all 4 of them. The 4 pieces I had were 2 different numbers but they look identical. Parker #4050-4 and Dixon 18-400.

Sometimes the "I can fix this" is a curse! While I love to fix things, it sometimes leaves me in a perpetual state of 'fixing'.

| It is a curse! The time I've spent fixing VS replaceing is rediculess. Been ahead to spend the money and move on. |
