HOW to REPLACE HYDRAULIC FITTING on 54" JOHN DEERE SNOW PLOW

In this video, I am fixing the 45 degree fitting on the lift cylinder of the 54" snow plow blade for our John Deere 430 garden tractor. It went pretty much as you'd expect and I include some other details as well.

Thanks for the video. I can now hook mine up and see if it is leaking from the fitting or the rod end of the actuator. Keep up the awesome videos!!

Thanks for your support. Hope it's an inexpensive fix for you too.

Your dealer jacked up the price 15.97 is the John Deere suggested retail price. AG PRO has purchased most JD stores in our area and I’ve noticed they charge too much.

[@tractorstrailsandlivingfree]

Yep, they are all AgPro in my region too. At least it wasn't the $50 I was half suspecting.

You should ask Santa for a wrench set.😃

[@tractorstrailsandlivingfree]

@@loutoolguy2644 yeah, but I'm sure he would say, "Uh, you have several in your truck, just go get "em" :) That's how it is sometimes, just grab what's closest.

Is Teflon tape suggested for hydraulic parts?

[@tractorstrailsandlivingfree]

The guys at the dealership suggested it on the threaded side that doesn't connect to the hose. I dont know if it was needed or not, but I figured that if it caused the fitting to not seat inside, I could always take it off. I suspect it would have been fine without any tape. Thanks for watchingcand commenting!

Any chance you have a mfg and/or part number for the hydraulic 2way assembly? I'm trying to find parts for mine that I just got VERY used.

[@tractorstrailsandlivingfree]

Unfortunately, I dont.. I used to have a part diagram for it but I can't seem to find it now. I will link back if it turns up.

[@loutoolguy2644]

Won’t let me comment for some reason…test.

I needed to do it three times before it showed up for some reason.

@@loutoolguy2644 I've had that happen before as well on my individual acct. I just assumed it didn't like what I was saying?
