Right! Didn't cost me a thing except for some time. And after 2 weeks and 30 hours on the LS, I finished the landscaping in the front yard. Now to go till up the garden.

Spread 7 cu yards of gravel for my front yard xeriscape project. Then drove next door and helped the neighbors out by spreading 4 cu yards of topsoil.

Great stuff!

That's correct!

And we have a winner! Before I saw your post, I connected one of the quick connects and it didn't work. Then I connected the other after a while and it worked immediately. This connection isn't color coded, like the caps and plugs. It's a little frustrating but now I know. It's a total newb...

Thanks for the idea. Just one rear kit. 3 point is directly off the pump. No problem with the loader. The flow control knob under the seat is halfway between fast and lock. I lifted the 3 point and turned the knob to off but there's no pressure or resistance. I've never used the 3 point before...

Update: Looks like everything is squared away. I picked up the tractor last Thursday. Two hoses, one hydraulic and one radiator, were both leaking. Service ran the tractor for a half hour without leaks. I ran it at home for an hour and no leaks, so it looks like we're good. Service handled the...

I ran into one of these looking online at a JD 1025R. Same story except the tractor "was at eBay" and I was going to have to go see it there. I got a good chuckle out of that.

Update: Trailered the tractor to the dealer. They are going to look at the oil leak and inspect the harnesses for damage. I'm not confident the dealer's service is going to be thorough or effective. This dealership is not primarily in the business of selling tractors. I knew that going in, but I...

I'm all for some tractor porn. [emoji23]

Good question. I don't see any damage to wiring harnesses. I don't feel like we overloaded anything. It was idling when it quit.
