I have been thru this again and again the last couple of weeks. I also use the adapters but they are not the problem in my case. On those old IH fittings they can LOOK like they are hooked up and may even stay inserted when you tug on them but at least one of them is NOT hooked up enough to allow flow. This generally happens when there is excessive pressure in one of the cylinder lines. Do what Allan and Delta Red told you to do. Here is how I do it:
1) Put on eye protection as fluid can spray.
2) Take each hose and push the ball against a frame on the implement and hold it there while fluid flows out. One should be pretty dramatic.
3) Push the tractor female fitting all the way back so the balls lock in place.
4)I take a small pein hammer and put the ball part in the back of the tractor fitting and push it forward until I see the balls relax then push in the male fitting all the way THEN remove the hammer and push the fitting back to lock the male in the female. Keep firm pressure on the hose (male) side until the fitting moves back to lock.
I would think close to 99% that your problem is right there. If it worked before it probably works now but it will never work until you complete the circuit. Like I said, I have had to do this a dozen times in the last week. Always try to get pressure out of the lines before you disconnect or you will take a lot of showers in fluid. HTH

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
