BFC, Why chance it? If you void the warranty chasing a small leak, what have you gained? Try talking to a dealer!

spruce, Thanks for sharing: other than just saying, 'I get it,' I can't help you. Remember, what you're doing is a different choice from having a factory job for 30 years that you have to drive 15 miles each way in traffic to get to. maybe could be worse.

Alexpops, Thanks for the reply!

Question to PCABE5: since I have an XG3140, the comment, "Fits but not recommended for LS ..., XG3140" makes me wonder why. Please explain! Thanks, John

I really appreciate reading the replies of the well-informed members of this forum: stuff to learn even if I'm not having the same problem. Thanks all!

Thanks, GS650, I was typing too much, and missed your post. I missed the beginner training class, but the Forum has been lots of help. Thanks to everyone!

Yes a valve is there, but it's either very touchy across a smaller range than I've been trying, or I have something else out of whack. I've stopped dealing with the outfit from which I bought the tractor because they seem much more interested in sales than service: below the seat are two levers...

Good to hear, thanks; I have not mastered fine movements of 3-point lifting, since so far, the adjusting I've tried results in implements dropping hard & raising fast: 1/2" & smaller increments are beyond me, but maybe I'm asking too much.

Yes, I have. I called my dealer, who had no suggestions (learned that they had no idea which brand of quick disconnect fittings were installed - mine are Stucchi), then did the same sort of maintenance the you did, although the first time I tried, the fitting still leaked, but the second try...

Nice way to treat the forum.

My dealer advocated a beet-derived fill product, claiming that corrosion would not be likely. It's been only 5 years since, so I don't think that is enough time to find out one way or the other about their recommendation. I took the bait.

More environmental taxation

I have no way of knowing one way or the other about any vendors, and I don't live in Texas, but check that company's address, then start looking at reviews from Google Maps. In other words, do lots of research!

Greg, I may not have relevant info since I own an LB1100, but my lines are routed (factory) differently. That 270° bend would not be how I would choose to route the lines (the term 'minimum bend radius' comes to mind), but mine do run 180°, although I think possibly not as tightly. I have other...
