Mf spool valves

Anyone any suggestions on how to stop pipes popping out of the spool valves on the 67/77 masseys. Driving me nuts, new male ends on the implement, have fitted a new coupler etc and still have pipes popping out. Can use it for half a day then it decides to pop out. Sometimes it pops out when you first put the implement on but plug it back in then it never comes out. Never had an issue with the standard type they had in 64 series. Thanks

We got a 7718 a couple of years back, tractor hadn't done much work but one of the spools was a sod for spitting the pipes out when you was putting machines on. We put new ends on the tractor and new ends on the machines that we needed too, still made no difference! I noticed though that the lever you press to dump the pressure on that spool was acting different to the other spools, it seemed to release one pipe before the other. I now push the top pipe in first on that spool then slightly press the dump lever which allows the bottom pipe to lock in better. May just be a one off on ours but it's the only way I can get them to stop in on that spool.

We occasionally have the females on the tractor go solid, so you can’t push the pipe in. Just replace with standard fitting with a collar due to cost. We have 54/57 series MF and never had one pop out.
