Went out to work on it for about an hour last night, it had been a long day and I really didn't want to get out of my chair after supper. But it was the last of our warm week, almost 70 yesterday, now back to 40s and colder next week.
I had picked up a hose and an elbow and figured I would get it finished up.
For the N9 install it shows the #7 line hooks directly to the TCV but it was impossible. Mike had said I would need to get an elbow but I couldn't see where it was needed. Put a #10jic el in and it lines right up.
Tighten all the fittings up, eezy peezy.
Put the hose i had made up on the mid lift cylinder, the one I had made up when I had done the 4118 was a little short for this selector install.
Made and painted a little bracket for mounting the selector valve. Everything going smoothly, let's keep at it.
You all know where this is going don't you, right, there must always be an issue.
Reading ahead to the startup and air bleeding procedure and says to loosen the #9 plugs on the ends of the valve body. Let's quick do that.

Here we go.

grab a handy 15" crescent wrench, nope not the right tool. Go up to the shop and get an 1 3/8" combination wrench, nope, not enough. Jack the tractor up higher to get more room and a better position, no way, not going to budge.

Back to the shop, get 3/4" drive ratchet and socket.

lean into the outside port, block all the wheels, lean into it again and it comes.
Go to the inside, can't get socket on, line in the way.
![No no no! :no:](./images/smilies/yahoo/68.gif)
loosen up all the fittings and remove the line. Back to the shop and get a 1 1/2" wrench to hold the valve. Build stack of cribbing to support wrench, lean into it.

I win.
Wish I had loosened these when I could have put it in a vice.
![Hm... :hm:](./images/smilies/yahoo/39.gif)
but really glad I hadn't filled with oil yet.
Everything tighten back up, ready to mount selector valve and fill with oil, 2 1/2 hours later.
