It's a learning experience, going about as I'd expected. One thing I'd like to see is a fitting on the hose end that spins. It's like that on the end that attaches to the cylinder, but not the other end. Nearly impossible to get the threads started in a tight position with a 59" hose acting as a big reluctant tail. Another stop at the hose shop tomorrow.
And let's talk money. Almost exactly $100 and some change for a 59" hose with two fittings. Size is 3/8". Seems a little steep, but what do I know? I'll have to rethink my replacing all the old hoses if that's the going price. I'd appreciate any info regarding your experience with hydraulic hose prices.
Going to a different shop tomorrow. Their main thing is hoses. The first shop does a little bit of everything, including starters and alternators and trailers. I'll probably have the new shop cut off my fitting, put on one that spins--or at the very least sell me a fitting I can attach to the tractor that will accomplish the same thing.
Sorry I'm not up to speed on all the terminology, but you get the general idea: amateur muddling through best he can. Thanks again for all the help.

Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
