[AT] Hydraulic fitting

[John Hall]

Spencer, 1 day is all it takes to get parts delivered from New Holland. 
I needed some bushings and a bearing for my baler. Called Clapp Bros in 
Siler City yesterday morning. They dropped ship everything to me today 
from Atlanta--estimated shipping was $30-40. Now way I could drive over 
an hour one way for that. They did the same thing for me a couple years 
ago for parts to fit my IH 800 planter. They have to place the order by 
lunch time for you to get it next day, or you have to pay an expediting fee.

So I put a pipe wrench on it, and this time used  a 4' pipe (used 2' before) on the pipe wrench handle and put everything I had on it.   Still nothing. So I tried the other one. That one came loose. So I went back to the first one.  I basically had to lunge at it -  it finally broke free.
