brewcrew Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 During planting I developed some leaks under the seat on my 806, so I’ve got to address those before hay. I was thinking while I was working on it, can I upgrade the couplers? Is there something out there like the newer tractors that simply push in and pull out? Yes the old pioneer couplers are reliable but they are a bit more messy and clumsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jass1660 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Farm and fleet used to carry holders and couplers you could just push hoses into when coupling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I believe they still do. You can get aluminum clamp together ones or you can get ones that are like a plastic block that bolts together, either way they hold the pioneer couplers and you just bolt them to a bracket and then they are push in/pull out, easy and cheap.

stronger800 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Here are two pictures I just found quick on my phone of what I have done on the back of our small fords. In the one picture where the hoses are hanging down behind the axle, I did not bolt the holder up to the top cover yet, you can see the bolt sticking out of the top cover where it should go. That one is the super common economy clamp together style. And the other tractor that has two sets of outlets, that’s another “block” style I call that. Tractor supply (I hate saying that), a hydraulic shop or about any farm store type place would have them I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kirsch Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 What model couplers are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska1206 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 If you have the two-piece aluminum breakaway holders for your original Pioneer couplers, CaseIH p/n A177478 will work as a new style push/pull coupler, and will fit perfectly in your original breakaway clamps. I put these on a lot of my tractors, for one-handed coupling of hydraulic hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stronger800 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I did the same on our 856, but you still need to push in the ring with your left hand to put the hose in with your right. On my blue tractor setups, those are one handed operation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i priced them thru my local pioneer dealer they had a 6 to 8 week wait and where 10 15 dollars higher then to go to the Deere dealer which had them on in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Do those push to connect one-handed? The ones that I have don’t. Maybe I bought the economy version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 This style of coupler was standard on a lot of 9XXX Steigers. If you need to couple/uncouple under pressure these work well. https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/483431-pioneer-lever-coupler-kit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really never liked how it hooked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
