OK, I think I am in bad trouble on the brake line fitting that goes into the tractor housing. I just got a better look at the fitting after removing the brake line and the 1/2 in. hex fitting completely crumbles into pieces. There is not a bit of the hex intact to attach any kind of socket to. I am including a pic if I do it correctly. I talked to a tractor mechanic and he said that these tractors were used a lot in harvesting cotton and the cotton leaves which contained acid would settle into this cavity where the fitting is and corrode the fitting and the line. I have never seen anything flake off in pieces with just using a pick to clean around it to inspect the fitting.
I may have to use just the right brake and not have a left brake.
