    B2791A Male Quick Hitch Pin Won't Engage

    I have had a B2650 for 11 years, and every year until now I have attached the snow plow without trouble. (The plow fits into the male quick hitch, which attaches to the tractor frame).

    Leaky Hydraulic Fittings

    I have a new B2650 (only 20 hours). However, I currently have 2 leaking hydraulic couplings on the front loader (threaded couplings, not the quick disconnects). I tightened these with an 11/16 wrench, but they are still a little wet with new hydraulic fluid. Two questions: how much force...
