My Ford tractor has a fast loading loader. I lower the bucket, undo 2 bolts and back away from it. Then get off and undo the hoses. Getting the hoses to reconnect has always been a fight. This time after 40 minutes in the sun and getting really aggravated I tried using my head instead of my brawn. I had cleaned the male and female fittings twice. And I had lessened the tractor's hose pressure by going through all positions with the front end loader handle. But the trick was to lessen the front end's pressure. I hit the male tit with a rubber hammer and the fluid flew! I didn't go get a rag cause I was intent on getting the hoses connected. I heard the loader settle some and I wondered if it'd fall but it didn't. I had left it on flat ground. I did all the male fittings and they went together easily. I did check the female **** but there was no pressure. Always carry a hammer!
