This is definitely a learning process…thank you
Thanks, oldnslo…great suggestion. I might eventually take that route.I went a different route and put one male and one female on the tractor. Also used different sizes of QD for lift lower vs curl, dump. I then plug hoses together to keep ends clean when attachments are not on the tractor.

Welcome to TBN! I did just that when I first took my loader on/off. Colored zip ties work great. Changing fittings would be a pretty expensive "fix".Thank you very much for your reply. Excellent information. Yes, she’s a terrific machine!
Most welcome. I have had my 2305 since new 2010. It has 900 hours on it. I work it hard but am over excessive with the maintenance. I have had only three main issues. Once it died while mowing. Figured out it would stay running if I held the key on. Blown fuse in Eng compartment ( white cover ). I had added trailer lights. Wire got pinched. My starter went bad from half of tractor under water ( hurricane). And the stupid design to grease the driveshaft spider gears. I changed universal joints to grease zerk on cap. Tons of info on this. Do your research on it. Poor design and if goes bad, $1000. Also will mention if running PTO and it’s older than 2009. Use slip clutch or tranny will give out. 10 k.Thank you very much for your reply. Excellent information. Yes, she’s a terrific machine!
