Thanks for sharing. Do I understand correctly that removing the plow capped off a hydraulic line, "deadheaded" the hydraulic pump, leaving no return path for hyd oil to the oil tank ?
That reminds me of the "problem" that stopped my uncle dead many years ago. His main farm tractor at the time was a Moline Model U with front end loader. The tractor did several jobs in season where the front end loader needed to be removed.
One time after removing the loader, he screwed the loader mounting bolts back into the mount pads on the tractor, and tried to start it to back away from the loader.
The old Moline engine was locked up solid, could not budge it. Uncle had no idea what was wrong, so they used another tractor to tow the old Moline, 6 miles to the repair shop in town.
The next day, uncle drove to town to find the mechanic hard at work on the tractor, trying to solve the seized engine mystery. The fellow had the oil pan off and was inspecting the bearings for a problem.
When asked what led up to the engine seizing, uncle replied that it ran fine when driven to the spot, but was seized after removing the loader. The old mechanic crawled out from under the engine and immediatly eyed the loader mounting pads on the frame in the area of the engine flywheel. Sure enough, uncle has screwed a too long loader mounting bolt through the frame and into the side of the engine flywheel. The mechanic moved that bolt to the correct hole and the engine turned over good as ever ;-).

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
