So yesterday I'm plowing away with the 1755 and a JD 4-16 plow. All was going well, it was real heavy clay soil so the old Oliver was singing pretty. It was misting and raining so I was happy to finally have a machine with a cab, life was good! Then it happened, I hit an unusually heavy patch of clay and BANG, POP, POP, SNAP. The tractor lurched ahead and I realized my stupid mistake. The bang was the plow clevis breaking, no problem one might think, wrong, well in my haste to get plowing I had grabbed the wrong hydraulic cylinder for the lift, the hoses were about 4 feet too long. So without thinking it through I put a loop in the hoses and tie them up to the top link chain, if all goes well this is fine but if the hydraulic breakaways can't work you know the result. POP, POP go the hydraulic hoses. Then to top it off the hoses whipped around and SNAP right into the lower rear window of the cab, big crack now. Moral of the story , DONT TIE YOUR HYDRAULIC HOSES TO THE TRACTOR!!!! All is well this AM and everything is fixed but the window, thats for another day. Have a good one all. :>)
