[AJD] Deere fuel line technique...I need a nudge

[Dean VP]

Bill:

Reading your note has brought back some hazy memories from my experience
with H fuel lines. Check me out here because I'm not sure I have remembered
this correctly.  But I seem to remember that I ran into lines where the
glands were part of the tube and not removable. 

It is just too long ago for me to be sure about this but it sure brings back
memories of having a similar frustrating experience. Maybe some of those on
the list will have a clearer memory.  

Maybe I'm going through one of my "Fig Newton of my Imagination" phases
again.

I'm working on my H again, chasing down the last seep in the fuel system.
Thanks Ron and others, for the tip on Fuelube / EZTurn, that sealed the
valve right up and also got the needle seat to seal in the carb body.

Then I noticed a little seep in the main fuel line.  Hey, no probs, I'll
just unsolder those glands off the ends, bend up some new tubing, solder the
glands on, and it would be good as new.

One gland came right off and soldered onto the new line just fine.  But I
can't get the other one apart.  On to the junk box, found 2 more glands with
stubs of tubing in them.  Can’t get one of those loose either, and thought
before I started on the last one I'd better come up for air.

Started with propane heat, then advanced to acetylene.  Get the glands nice
and red, have a place where I can get some decent pull and a little twist on
them, but no budge.

Other than giving up being stubborn and paying Robert's $6.18 for new ones
(cripes, at that price I'm ashamed to admit I've spent a few hours on this
already...oh, well, doing things the smart way never was a strong suit of
mine...), anybody got a technique in your back pocket that would help me
here?  

And I've got nothing against Roberts, in case one wonders.  He's been real
helpful, and I even bought a carb for my AR from him a while back.  It was a
work of art, all painted with the brass plugs shined and put on after the
paint job, it was a work of art.  Kind of hate to put fuel in.

Thanks for help, once again!
