Breaking in a New Snowplow

What happens here

After realizing the fitting is compromised and contaminated, the operator and his assistant decide to source a new, O-ring sealed hydraulic quick connect fitting. They drive to a local supplier specializing in hydraulic hoses and fittings. The store employee advises against using standard plumber's tape or paste on hydraulic fittings, explaining that O-ring sealed fittings are the correct solution for high-pressure hydraulic systems to prevent contamination and ensure a reliable seal.

Goal: Travel to a hydraulic supplier to purchase a new O-ring sealed quick connect fitting, learning that standard plumber's tape is unsuitable for hydraulic applications.
