[AT] Help with hydraulic line

[charlie hill]

Mike it's hard to tell much about the fitting from the picture.  Did you try 
a shop that sells hydraulic fittings instead of the dealer?  I think it 
might be an off the shelf part.  I doubt if Simplicity had a proprietary 
part built for that but you never know.  If you block it off you'll have to 
put a plug in the housing and another one on the line or remove the line and 
plug it at the other end.  By the time you do all that it might be just as 
cheap (parts and time totaled) to buy the fitting.

Subject: [AT] Help with hydraulic line

Hi All,
I have a '95 Simpilicy Sovereign Hydro that I use for lawn mowing. While 
working on it yestereday, I tried to loosen one of the hydraulic lines that 
run to the lift for the deck, and cracked the fitting.  The lift for the 
deck doesn't even work anymore, it only lifts the deck about 3/4" or so. The 
replacement part is about $25 for that little elbow, can anyone think of a 
way to engineer a creative repair? Can I just plug that hole, and leave the 
other line attached? I've included a link to some picture, to help 
illustrate what I'm talking about. Thanks for any help guys.
