- ACTIVE: JDX730 DAYS GONE BY: JD3010, JD790, JD425
Recently purchased a used X730 and while doing research I noticed I can use my 47" Blower from my old 425. One thing I noticed right off the bat, the Hydraulic quick connects are on the opposite side so I went through the Parts list, purchased some gaskets and (2) 90-degree couplings since the X730 is not a straight shot in.
Since I don't know what I'm doing, I turned the 90 degree couplings on the cylinder and tightened them back up, switched the hoses since one is shorter than the other to coincide with the new destination and tightened everything up, slow and steady with a couple of subtle hits with the rubber Mallot to tighten them up.
OK, what didn't I do correctly, special torque settings, etc. I read no bleeding required, so I intend to connect see how the lines hold, am I good-to-go. This is the cylinder that provides movement to the blower chute. See attached PICs Thanks for any recommendations.
