I finally got around to working on the D14 PTO case hydraulic hose. It had shattered and was putting all the hydraulic oil into the PTO case. I pulled out the PTO shaft and immediately saw where it frayed and came apart.
I'm always looking for the easy way to do this sort of thing and was wondering if my plan is realistic. Looking in there, it appears to me that I could, using a long extension and a 3/4 inch 3/8s drive Crowfoot, remove it from the extension tube coming out of the ram with the case on. If successful, this would avoid pulling the PTO case off.
My thinking is that even removing the case, it will still require some sleight of hand to get the hose back up into the transport valve hole. To get it started, I'm thinking Kim could start the threads, since her hand would easily fit in the case, then I can use the Crowfoot to torque it down. It would make a big job be trivial.
Anyone tried this or have you all removed the case to do the job?
