Rookie question:
Got a used Kubota a few weeks ago. Out this morning clearing trees and brush I went to close the thumb and it had quit working. Got off to take a look and the hose had come uncoupled at the quick release (dont know how).
I'm trying to reconnect the hose but I cant get the external sleeve to slide back. I'm wary that this may be because there is still pressure in the aux circuit that controls the thumb. Operators manual says to shut engine down with all hydraulic loads on the ground then turn the key back on to the run position and operate the controls.....that should dump all pressure back to tank.
Did that....external sleeve is still stuck. Tap it with a punch and ball peen (staying out of the way)?
