This site has just paid for itself.

Hi all,

Today I temped fate and took the snowplow and snowblower off. I put the loader on and encountered the problem of the hydraulics under pressure on the loader.

It was ONLY because I read about this issue on this site that I knew what to do. I knew it was under pressure, but I would have never thought to hit it with a hammer and rag.

The connections are female, so I also knew to use a small 1/2" brass rod piece I had to get at the ones there too.

I figured that had I not read about this and the solution on this site, I would have wasted a good Saturday afternoon and evening, and probably would have had to wait until Monday to call my dealer.

Thanks everyone who posted this and the solution reccently.

Jon

Yup, seems like most of us have struggled with this one.

I just loosened the quick connects with a wrench and released the pressure that way.

Job well done and glad all went smoothly.
