I keep picking away at the little stuff until I can get it in the shop and really get after it. This weeks task hopefully is to slow down a couple of fuel leaks. Really more like weeps but need to stop. The biggest leaker is the small copper fuel lines. I think they are return lines. I don"t know of a place to get that small copper. Can you buy new lines or the materials to make them? If so where.

arm/automotive store,..Dieselshop,...hydraulic repair shop,...bolt and bearing house,.. plumber supply store.
 
Chances are you just need to replace the rubber T's instead of the Copper lines. Agco or John Deere will have them.

Last time I priced those lines several years ago you wanted to be setting down when you were given the price. Yes buy yourself enough copper plus a little extra, some new inverted flare nuts and if you don't have it get a good flaring tool that does the double flares. Also if they have not been off before note there are long and short lines. Keep the bends correct and maybe cut your self a block of wood with a saber saw to use as a jig to bend them to the correct shape.
