It must just be my luck.
For the past 2 years I've had intermittent problems with the hydraulic fittings on the front of my tractor, typically popping loose during hard work sessions. Today I was working with the FEL and a back blade to move some dirt and smooth things out and everything seemed normal. Until I stopped to refuel. Front of the tractor was soaked with fluid and a puddle was growing in the driveway.
The fitting was pressure nut had loosened and was spitting fluid. Killed the engine and the leak slowed to a drip.
Problem is I was at the house, the tools are at the shop. So I fueled up and drove over to the shop. All the fittings are night tightened.
But I am beginning to wonder, is it a New Holland thing that the fittings seem to come loose or is it just my dumb luck?
