I put a used Westendorf WL42 on the 1086 a little over a year ago, but the machinery jockey I bought it from didn't have the 'manifold' of female pioneer couplers that goes on the side rail of the tractor. When the loader is attached and detached from the tractor the hydraulic hoses for the loader plug into this manifold. Hoses go from the manifold to the rear ISO outlets on the back of the tractor. Those of you with Westendorfs know the deal.
Anyway, when I got the loader I just found some hoses to extend the hoses that were already on the loader to the back of the tractor. I haven't taken the loader off until now so the convenience of having the manifold was no big deal. Today I finally installed a manifold with six Pioneer outlets. The loader has a grapple so that's why there are six. I had the hoses that go to the back of the tractor made and I put eveything together-except for one hose on the manifold that I forgot to tighten. Hooked everything up, was driving into the loader with the 'loader down' hyd lever pushed ahead to mount the loader and the loader wasn't responding. I was looking down the right side of the tractor and the loose hose was spraying out the left side unnoticed until I let up on the lever to try to figure out why the loader wasn't moving when I moved the lever. The shop floor was covered with oil, the work bench was covered, and I had to unhook everything so I could back the tractor out the door to wash it down. Now on occasion, language unbecoming of a christian has shown up in that shop, and it happened again!!!! I was more mad at myself than the mess. The floor and bench had to be cleaned anyway. It still amazes me how much oil can go through such a small hole in such a short time. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
