Just as an FYI the torque spec for -4 JIC fittings is 11-12 ft-lb and for -6 it is 18-20 ft-lb. You of course can't use a regular torque wrench on hydraulic fittings unless you use a crowfoot and do the offset calculations but this still gives you an idea of how tight to go even when using a regular open end wrench. As I indicated down below these fittings are super-reliable if tightened properly but if overtorqued they are typically ruined and will leak. What often happens is they are overtorqued from the beginning and the resulting leak makes a person think they are too loose which leads to even more tightening. If this happens a person might get lucky enough to mash the sealing faces together enough to stop the leak but don't plan on re-using the fittings if they are ever taken apart again.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
