I have an uncle in Annandale. You could buy him a steak. His wife is in Brazil for 3 weeks and he's hungry. He doesn't have a tractor but has a John Deere lawn sprinkler that he likes to talk about.

Creeper, were you able to make the repair? If you could post a picture of what you replaced it would be really helpful.

Thanks from a fellow 790 - 419 owner.

The small split ring was dislodged and I was unable to repair it without bending so for $6 I bought a new one and a spare in case there is a next time. As others said it will look fine ,but if there is no spring tension it dont work.

creeper,

Glad you were able to figure this out. A few weeks ago I posted a post about the hydraulic couplers being so pressurized that you couldn't attach them to the tractor. After visiting another poster locally who had built a homemade BH that was anything but homemade, I saw that he had made a series of wooden blocks to support the 210 bucket. As it turns out, after removing the 210 bucket, the design inclines the tractor to tilt backwards. This of course adds hydraulic pressure to the lines. It is a design feature that the old bucket off my 755 did not have. Progress. Well it is in one man's eyes... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
