I fought for hours, but could never get the hydraulic hoses connected from the John Deere four bottom 16 inch moldboard plow. I cleaned off both male and female ends. Then I'd get them connected and they'd pop off as soon as I applied pressure.
So I gave up and tried to bring the plow home with my Farmall 75C. The hoses hooked up instantly and easily. I then brought the plow home and greased it. But it was all the little 75C four wheel drive tractor could do to pull that plow about 2 1/2 mph. Very hard, dry soil and I stuck the plow in deep! But, after a couple of rounds the tail wheel fell off that John Deere semi-mounted plow.
Later I got out the old three bottom trip plow and hooked it behind the Oliver 1850. Ol Ollie hardly knew it was back there. That engine has a beautiful smooth purr as it pulls!
Any advice on hooking up the hydraulic hoses to the 1850?
