I know this is a very old thread but hopefully this message will get back to everyone here.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, A thousand thank-yous!
Because of the information here I was able to get rid of the 1 bane of my existence, the Kubota quick connect.
I tried everything including rocking it back and forth and a clamp to help tighten it down replacing parts, nothing worked.
It got to the point where after I used the tractor for more than an hour, I had hydraulic fluid all over the deck, quick connect and with the sand and dirt we have, it turned into a giant nasty mess.
After seeing another thread on another tractor forum, it led me back to all of you and this thread and I got the idea from @imnukensc and a list of parts I needed from @fransser!
Took some scrounging to get everything as a local hydraulic shop only had three, quarter inch quick connects and I ordered another one from Amazon.
I used the tractor today for the first time since the repair and I was almost in tears as there was absolutely no leakage whatsoever!
I think it was the first time since the first year I bought the tractor, that the deck didn't have hydraulic fluid all over it and the coupling wasn't covered in hydraulic fluid!
Everything was Dusty , dry and beautiful!
Just in case I didn't say it enough, let me see it one more time, thank you to everyone in this thread.

So correct me if i'm wrong.....there is a recall on the hydraulic quick connector. Doesn't that mean if you are out of warranty....you still should get it from the dealer at no cost right? I recently sent in my tractor under warranty.....but I didn't send it in with my loader on. I asked about the recall....but since I didn't have the loader at the dealer they could replace anything.
