What happens here

Remove the blue control valve block by loosening its four Allen screws. This is necessary to properly access and tighten the fittings. Once removed, connect the quick attach hydraulic lines to the control valve. Replace the control valve onto the tractor, securing it with the four Allen screws and their associated nuts and lock washers. The presenter comments on the varying sizes of nuts and Allen screws used on the tractor, making the job more difficult.

Goal: Secure the control valve and hydraulic lines to the tractor.
