I need some quick help! One of the rigid steel hydraulic lines on my tractor has sprung a leak in the middle of it's run. Apparently, it has been rubbing on a frame member and finally wore a hole through the wall. What can I do for a quick fix??? I tried JB weld, but no matter how good I tried to clean it, the hydraulic fluid leaked out and the JB slid right off onto the ground. The line is for the oil cooler, so it is probably low pressure (i.e., it's not a front loader line). Can I put a square of sheet metal around it, and clamp the crap out of it with hose clamps? Obviously no dealer is open so I can't get a replacement line (besides, I bet they charge an arm and a leg!)
I'd like to get back on the tractor in a couple hours because I have a lot of mowing to do today.
