3020 power steering line under dash

[Jeff Oliver]

I was plowing yesterday with out 3020 and it started leaking oil from under the dash. Opened the panel and there is a real small oil line going up to the steering valve I think. It goes over and connects at the bottom on the right side.

I got the fitting unscrewed on the top fine. the other one when I turn the fitting it looked like the piece it screwa into was turning also. Looks like to get 2 wrenches on it I am going to have to take a linkage rod off and a larger hydraulic hose.

Is there an easier way?

It's in an ornery place for sure,,I'm thinking your talking about the brake valve supply line.

Tim, my son thinks they hung that line on a chain hoist at the factory and built the rest of the tracor around it. Not fun to work on.

There are some ornery tight places on this stuff,,I'm pulling the cab on a 4440 right now, and the wheels are squeezed in close,,not much room for a big boy to get into..

There's an easy solution. Just jack up the rear end and use JD's patented "rack & pinion" rear wheels adjustment and just move the wheels out. See how easy that was.Jim :twisted:

Yes I considered moving the wheels out, but it also has dual hubs on and it looks like they haven't been moved since 1978,,I tell people I charge extra for repairs on tractors set for narrow rows
