Ford Jubilee leaking hydraulic line, leaking radiator

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?
 
The only external hydraulic lines related to the 3 point should be the manifold from the pump to the front of the transmission on the right side. Nothing under the engine that I am aware of.

Post some pictures of the lines you are talking about, including pictures that show where the two ends terminate.
 
New ones are available, Mine leaked on my Jube I took them off and brazed the leak, can't remember
if I drained the hydraulic or not.
 
NAA will have lines from the pump to the underside of the hyds section, vs the hundred series manifold tot he front of the trans,
but yeah.. nothing under the engine at all, unless he has his hyds plumbed off a loaders front pump maybee.

We will need to see pics or hear a better explanation from the OP.

If it's just the stock metal lines.. they are easy to braze.

I should have worded it better, it's just the stock hydraulic lines that run underneath the transmission, not the engine. It looks like the rubbed against where the engine and trans meet, is it called the bell housing? The previous owner brazed it, and someone put what looks like jb weld on it, but it still has a slow drip. The 3 point still raises ok. I just need to know the removal procedure and what I need to do after re-attaching, my shop manual isn't very detailed about it unless I'm missing something.
 
Pull the lines. Oil can be drained either before you pull it after.

Remove kb weld, rebraze, reseal.

Each end of each line has two bolts holding the end of the line in place. Remove those bolts and the lines should come off. There is an o-ring under each end of each line as well, and the o-rings should all be replaced when you re-install the lines. I would bend the lines after you have them off to ensure that they won't rub after you reinstall them, and then dry fit everything together to make sure there's no rubbing before you re-braze them and re-install them with new o-rings.

Sorry about my earlier reply... I was thinking about the later hundred series models when I mentioned the manifold.
 

I split a Jub 10/12 years ago it had a brand new line on it I remember it was quite a fight to get the line back on it. Normal are not but it put up a good fight.
