Anyone have any experience repairing the stupid external hydraulic lines for a 3000? I believe there are other models with similar lines - so I'm sure someone out there has had pitted rusty ones.
Mine has 3 pinholes on the suction line, the largest is like it's been stabbed with a ballpoint pen, however the rest of the tube where it's against the trans under the floorboard is heavily pitted too. (see my "rotted hyd line" post for pics)
I have a MIG but I'm afraid the heavy pitting will turn into a game of connect the dots.
Brazing was a thought but if that fails it becomes a pain to weld.
JB weld smeared over the tube?
Fiberglass/duraglas/bondo the tube?
Cut it and sleeve it?
Sell the tractor and take up knitting?
