There is one "on top" and looks like two coming off the left side, horizontally. My dad had a hookup to raise/lower a combine platform, but I can"t remember which ports were used. So which ports are used in such a case? Also, I bought some quick connects, to use, but the male end of the hose goes into the qc with great difficulty. Do I need to replace the male ends of the hose with the ones that came with the QC, or should they "just work"? [Reply]   [No Email]

I have saw where guys have used the "top" port, and one on the side.. I don't know that there is a "right" way.. I can take a picture of mine and post it, if you'd like.. As for the hoses being hard to hook up, you will have that when they are under pressure... BUT... A friend of mine is a parts man for a C-IH dealer, and he now buys female fittings that are easy to connect under pressure.. They are a bit pricey, but after seeing how they work, I'm going to invest in a couple sets of them.. I can try to get you a part number if you'd like also. Brad [Reply]  [No Email]

It"ll take me a while to try this out again. I would be interested in that part number. [Reply]  [No Email]

On an older tractor it's best to shut down the engine and hold the control lever in each direction for a few seconds to bleed off the pressure before disconnecting. If there is no pressure then change out the male ends with the new ones. It will only take a couple of minutes. [Reply]  [No Email]
