I have replaced the o-rings in both sets of remotes on my 2640 with aftermarket o-rings and they don't appear to leak until I hook up to a remote cylinder and turn them on. Then alot of hydraulic fluid flows out the bottom of the break away coupler unit. I used 2-3 gallons planting half acre of sweet corn today. Could it be that the units are shot or could the o-rings be bad still or just the wrong ones? I fear JD is going to want alot for the rebuild kit, about $80 per side which, I believe is no more than about $1 worth of o-rings. Should I consider changing from the stock John Deere breakaway couplers to something else. Has anyone else had this problem before and if so what did you do to handle it? Thanks, I could really use the help. I either have to stop the leaking or find hydraulic fluid that is high in nitrogen and leave it as is for side dressing.
