Hi everyone, I am new to this site so forgive me if I don't post this correctly. I just purchased a 2020 BX23S with the loader, backhoe and grappler attachment. I installed the third function valve kit for the grappler myself to avoid the $200.00 fee for the dealer to install it. My problem is that there is a compression fitting and a 90 degree elbow that connects the quick coupler to one of the valve ports and no matter what I do it backs off and starts leaking after using the grappler for a while. Has anyone had this problem? If so how did you fix it?

You need an O-ring boss to whatever fitting is on the Quick disconnect, eliminating the back to back 90's.
That will never stay tight because it has no support.

Not sure why they set it up this way but this is the way it came in the kit from Kubota. Maybe there is not enough room for the two fittings next to each other. The other fitting is not shown in the picture because you have to take it off to get the cover off
