Hydraulic leak fixed

[super99]

Got the other end of the line loose and blew it out,cleaned the line up and sprayed the brake cleaner and brazed it. Lines were a bear to get hooked back up but finally got them. Filled with oil and started it up and no leaks yet. Glad that’s done before it turns cold again!!

Now get some rubber covering around it so it does not rub again.

Good job. I've brazed a lot of them on Olivers and Whites, but I never did it without taking them out. Glad to know it can be done.

I cut a short piece of hose and slipped it over both lines after I took the picture. Guess I was too tired and cold to take another picture. Originally thought it was the hoses on the orbit motor so I took the hood off to see better. Fuel guage quit a few years ago so I'll order a new one and replace it before I put the hood back on.

Might try grounding the fuel sender to see if it
needs a ground wire??

Took the sending unit out yesterday afternoon, the float is full of diesel fuel. Ordered a new one this morning. Stayed inside today so I didn't get blown away!!
