So the old radiator is toast......good grief getting the two nuts off that hold it in place is a bear! Anyone know the size of that nut? Very hard for a rank amatuer mechanic to get a wrench on it. -

Ford 4500 backhoe steel hydraulic lines
Yes. I have since learned that the vane pump was replaced with a gear pump. So the line on the right runs about $450...I wonder if that crumbled fitting can be replaced? It uses a thick rubber washer. On the pipe on the left, yes the steel version you see was used with some sort of expansion...
