...and hydraulic fittings this week? FIRST, I could not get the remotes on the back of the 1586 to hold a hose. Directions said to push from the back but nothing going on there. Wasn't until I wedged a peen hammer back there and levered it that I got it to move...30 years of crud made those a little rough operating. SECOND, when adding end transport to my Cyclo 800 that I dragged home from the auction I completely neglected to take into consideration that the end transport tongue (that I myself installed) telescoped out of the tool bar thus having to go to TSC (2 of them because they never have a complete set of "what you need out here") and drop $40 on extensions to the hoses that I made too short. THIRD...today I am getting an old IH disk set up with a remote to basically check it out and run it thru it's paces but some relative of a Jenny has put a remote on the 300U that needs Superman to connect. The other remote is a nice Pioneer that a guy alone can hook onto. Not the other! I can either push the collar back or I can hold the hose but not both. Here alone today too. Guess I'll be changing that fitting today cause it is the only tractor still out that has Pioneer fittings. Rant over! One of THOSE weeks I guess.
