Newbie tractor owner here. My '53 Jubilee has a leak in one of the metal hydraulic hoses that raise the 3 point. It is leaking about midway under the engine. It looks as thought the line rubbed against the underside of the tractor and the previous owner's repair is not holding. I'd like to remove the lines and have a go at repairing them myself. Can anyone tell me what is involved with removing the hydraulic lines? Can the hydraulic fluid be drained prior to removing the lines? Will the hydraulic system have to be primed or anything after re-attaching the lines?
Also. My radiator has a leak along about a 2 inch section of the top seam. Coolant squirts out in three tiny jets when the engine warms up. I hope to repair this too by re-soldering the seam. I want to replace the hoses while I'm at it. Seems like a pretty straightforward job, any tips for draining removing the radiator from the tractor?
