Once you get your connectors straightened out you might find you stil have problems connecting.
I have a similar tractor with ff connectors and a 4 in 1. In my case, pressure builds up on the implement side, in the 4 in 1. I'm convinced it's outside temperature related. As the day warms up, the fluid expands and bingo, no way to connect.
There are a few gadgets out there to help, some you buy and some pretty ingenious home grown but, in my case, i took someone suggestion and, if having trouble, I just crack the nut on a hose on the implement side. Only a tiny bit of fluid escapes.
I just tried the other day and it worked! Dont retighten the nut until your connected. hee hee hee no duh!
Check for loose grease fittings, and when you go to change filters, good luck. Between my rtv and the tractor i had 7. At least 5 were almost impossible to remove and, even if you have a universal filter wrench kit etc etc......it ain't gonna fit.
good luck.
