Got a bit of a shock today. I have a coupler leaking on a skid steer attachment, a Parker flat faced male coupler. Called about an o-ring (actually figured I'd get a handful to have around), it took them awhile to find one, and even they were shocked at the $17 price tag.
I'm thinking there has got to be a source for these things somewhere cheaper. Do they need to be square shouldered? Wouldn't a nylon backing ring and a good round o-ring do the trick if one could find the size?
Digging around on the net it appears people actually replace the coupler when they leak. I'm not interested in that.
