Hi.
I purchased a skid plate for the hydraulic valve on my new L2501 . The line going to the rear of the tractor dips down below the filter canister. I need to move it up to clear the new skid plate. I've attached a picture to show how the line is at the moment. I've been told that I can slightly loosen the nut, rotate the line up and re-tighten. I was thinking I would mark the nut and make sure I bring it back to its original position.
Is there a specific torque for that nut or is it just tighten and then 1/4 turn (type of thing)?
Assuming I only back it off enough to wiggle the line up do I need to worry about anything? I.E. Will this have any effect on the seal due to backing off and re-tightening?
I know nothing of hydraulics and want to make sure I don't cause the issue I'm trying to avoid by putting on a skid plate in the first place.
;-)
Thank you.
Denis
