Must be the time for power steering hoses to blow on ole M's.
I was cutting last Wednesday with my 1946 M (pics on implement alley) and looked down and my one rear tire was wet. Low and behold the return line had blew spewing fluid on the tire. Caught it quick and did not lose hardly any fluid. Unhooked the m and had the wife tow me back to the barn with the ole Farmall h and then put the Farmall h on the cutter to finish cutting the last 1.25 acres.
I replaced all 3 hoses on my tractor and they are now routed much better than they were. I also set it up so that standard off the shelf hydraulic hoses can be used as replacements instead of custom lengths (win and win).
I am still amazed it was the low pressure return line that blew instead of the high pressure line. Grateful though as my power steering is mounted closer to the steering wheel pedestal so I would have gotten doused had it been the other high pressure hose.
