[AT] Farmall Cub Hydraulic Leak

[Roger Moffat]

Thanks everyone…

I’ve called JP Salvage and he said they have them, and a good set with no welds or breaks would be $60 - not too bad.

So I’ll see if I can get them off and find out exactly where the break is, and if I can braze it over - at least I know now if I mess it up it won’t be the complete end of the world.

I have been around many tractors with that type of tubing ( Super C and the offset Farmalls) and I have never seen one with tubing trouble although obviously it happens. I can't tell from the picture, but it appears the top line has had corrosion for some reason although it may just be the picture. Over the years I have brazed many hydraulic tubes and had good luck. As for getting it off the reservoir, the old rule applies as in get a bigger hammer. Seriously though, after the three bolts are out nothing else holds it on except as you said the gasket and maybe glue. You could try brazing first but before I would try splicing or adding more connections, I would make a couple of phone calls and look into a set of used ones. There are a lot of used Cub parts out there and I don't think these lines are hot sellers. I looked up JP Tractor Salvage and they have them but I didn't see a price so I think you would have to call. If it were me, I think before I even tried brazing, I would first look into used just to know what my options were. Good luck.
