Massey Ferguson 6480. Spools

[Lewis Park]

Went to pick the 6m rollers up the other day and it has 3 lots of pipes. Up and down, folding in and out and for the clod boards. I manage to get two lots of pipes in but could not get a set in to the red spool. I tried letting pressures off and putting it in float but couldn't get it to take the pipes. There wasn't any pressure on the pipes as they would go in to one of the other spoil blocks. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas, solutions and if it's happened to them before.

Coupler knackered?

Couplings starting to seize up if you've not used them for a while. Get an old quick release and weld on about 18 inches of 1 inch pipe. Use it to force the coller in and out with plenty wd-40. It may just release and clean the balls and the sliding coller enough.
