Thanks for the responses to my first question. Filled up the tractor and everything was fine with the transmission. However, I have one more question.

There is a nut on the forward part of the line that goes into the transmission for the hydrostat on the left side of the tractor below the clutch pedal. While fixing the leak caused by the stick that knocked the rubber sleeve loose, I noticed that the nut was loose. It is next to impossible to get to the nut with a regular wrench. I have 168 hours on my tractor and it has not leaked where the line goes into the tractor but it appears that the nut has slowly been backing off. Shouldn't this nut be tight and if so, does it turn clockwise?
