Massey spool connectors

[Bloders]

Howdo,
is there a repair kit i can get for the connectors as shown in the pciture or do i need to replace them?
Any suggestions where to get them?
One has started to leak badly, but also, a couple of times, they wont open. its happened with different implements so i assume its not the implement connector

Basically they re sh!t.
U can buy them online but i got fed up replacing them so i just use bog standard female connectors. The ones u have to push the collar back to relase the hoses

what thread is on them?
I think they have quite a fine thread dont they, so a "standard" coupling with 3/4 BSP wont fit?

No kit but you can get O-ring and shield kits if that is the problem. Otherwise they are throw-away jobs. You can get genuine MF replacements or VAP or Sparex or Kramp or New Holland or whatever. They should all fit. I like push-pull ones, but as mentioned you could fit cheap ring-lock ones. Just be aware that those will not pull away in the event of driver forgetfulness and will damage something more expensive. Of course its not guaranteed that push-pull ones will release, especially under pressure or if the pipe pulls at an angle.

There are much better ones available which work while pressurised, as fitted to MF tractors with CCLS hydraulics. They are much more expensive and they do need drain pipes plumbed together and to the transmission, because they release pressure by dumping the pressurised oil out of a drain at their centre when viewed from the side.

Its hit and miss whether those external collar and lid type dust caps will fit on generic couplers, although I suspect that they are compatible with most. They will certainly not fit cheap collar-lock or the more expensive pressure-releasing push-pulls. The latter have a larger external diameter to the standard ones.

as well as leaking sometimes they wont work (allow oil through) so im reckoning they are knackered.
Ill fit either cheap ones, or the type to disconnect under pressure...

Faster - very nice Italian made hydraulic couplers. See Kramp stockists.

These are the 1/2” size disconnect under pressure push-pull type:
