Don T:
Don't throw those hydro release valves away - as a matter of fact, you may not need to swap 'em, unless you're in a hurry....Some guy by the name of Charlie posted this last September-
"Clean the tops of the valves up really well, a wire brush works well for that.
Spray PB Blaster or Kroil on them and let'um soak for a day or 3. If you can get a pair of sharp vise-grips on them, twist a little while pulling up.
Once you get'um loose, you can move them up and down all the while spraying again and again.
Once you get them both free, fire up the tractor and wire brush them off again while they are still up. Clean one more time, spray'um up good again and blow them off with the air hose and your good to go.
I always like to put some Hytran on them after i get'um working right. BUT, you'll have to keep an eye on them down the road as the Hytran will collect dirt."

(Oops -Kraig, I just remembered, I was gonna write that up for the Faqs..)

(Hydro valves...) Or, after the cleaning/oiling process and with the tractor <font size="+1">running</font>, tap down on the buttons. The hydro pressure will push them back up.

Kendell - Somebody curled yer pic ...

I tried blasting with the new compressor today , man do it blast

I've got an air leak between the reducer out of the tank into the shutoff ... ** Hint ** When installing piping put in one or two pieces then cap it to check for leaks then uncap and continue plumbing ... Wish I'd thought of that before but I thought the teflon tape would do it's job

Luther - We had 62mph wind according to the airport , trees down on several roads including the one down the road that some idiot ran into and ended up at the horsepital.

Kraig - That's the first springs I've seen for the QA.

Charlie - I seen a Cub Cadet on the Weather Channel today throwing snow ... they were talking about the O'Hare airport, don't know if it was there or not. It was a newer one though with a cab.... BUT it wasn't green
