thread sealent

[nolan1]

I just bought a new quick hitch for my bx1860 and started to assemble it. The hydraulic lines need to be attached with a thread sealent. Anybody have any recomendation on what they use? Thank you

You can use any thread sealer that is rated for oil,do not use teflon tape,liquid teflon is ok.Permetx ,non-hardening ,ect.

no teflon tape-it gets in lines-valves wont shift w/blocked ports-you get the pic.

If you do use the liquid sealers, it's best to let them set overnight before applying pressure to the lines. Loctite 567 is my favourite.
