In the link below, at 2:51, what does the following mean and why did Ross say "Would"?

Ross: You can see where he'd have trouble!

This is my conclusion: I think WOULD is used in a hypothetical condition. Can we rephrase it this way? "If your father didn't understand that metaphor, then you can see he would have trouble understanding you."

It's a contraction of "he would". They are therefore equivalent.
