Well nothing is ever easy, also noticed at some point I broke off
the hood latch release which Mahindra foolishly located low on the
frame behind the front tire where it can catch on all sorts of
things. This will be the second time I've had to replace this. I
should look for a more permanent fix.<br>

Thank you for all the advice regarding Teflon tape. This is on a 5
year old Mahindra tractor, I've been impressed with the machine in
general, but not the hoses or other rubber parts. I will probably
try what Tom suggested and use a little, but stay well back from
where it could migrate into the system. If that fails, I'll need
to have a new hose made.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

PS - a friend of mine owns a heating and cooling business, and he
commonly uses both tape, then paste on all his gas connections.<br>

<p>Bo: I always stuck to that teaching. Even though in the
early days the loader manufacturers would supply a couple of
rolls of teflon tape with a new loader. Wealways used paste,
or the stick which was a lot easier to use. I used a lot of
Rectorseal in the day. Here lately I bought a lot of fittings
from Discount Hyd hose.com, ant the fittings would leak no
matter how much teflon paste or type of paste, or tight I got
the fitting. I even used an impact wrench and a vise to
tighten the fittings on the hose.. So, I got to using the
tape and stopped having leaks. A good friend worked 10 years
for a large Farm Eq dealer and he told me thay had to start
using teflon tape on all NPT fittings. <br>
