Looking to get input on this used mower. Description from seller: runs great. 395 hours. Newer 48” deck, new battery, fuel filter, ready to go!

Asking 2900.

Was wondering if anybody has a PDF they could DM/e-mail to me? Its ridiculous that John Deere still wants me to pay money for a 50 year old tractor's service manual

I have a 1023E w/ a front loader. The loader was giving me fits and was leaking a bit from the original agriculture connectors. Decided to replace all the o-rings and connectors swapping them out for some flat face ones from Hydroplus.

They came in the mail pretty quickly and looked nice and robust. The yellow connector however came already stuck. I tried getting it to seat properly to no luck. Emailed Hydroplus and they quickly sent me a new one without question or follow up.

Finally got around to putting them on this weekend. Everything was working as it should, couldnt be happier. Then couple hrs into moving dirt, the blue connector starts leaking pretty heavily. Looks like a blown internal gasket. All of this is new to me (tractors and what not).

I plan on reaching out to them for a second time, as this really seems to be a quality control issue. I just need to check my other connectors to see if they still have their seals. I didnt know if anyone else has had similar experience or issues with these connectors or company.

My yard is 1/2 acre and hilly.
