Greetings;
I have a Kubota L2550 that has a 60" front mounted plow. At the moment it only has hydraulic up/down. The previous owner told me that it did have power left/right control but that the cylinders had seized and he had them removed and the plow converted to manual swing. I'd like to restore the plow to full hydraulic control and the first thing that struck me was that the disconnects for the remaining cylinder have been replaced and the remaining two look original and pretty rough.
My question is, is there pressure in the lines "back" of the disconnects, or is it simply a matter of unscrewing the old ones and installing the new ones ?
Lastly, any links to a hydraulics tutorial for newbies would be really helpful. When I source the replacement cylinders and get them mounted I'm sure I'll have lot's of questions about pressurizing the cylinders for the first time.
Cheers, Erik
