Seems like we are into a novel here.
This time mowing and heard a strange sound. Looked over the right side of the tractor and hydraulic fluid was spraying from the lower line.
When I put the seal in the hyd pump; I noticed the line was welded at the banjo fitting.
Apparently between removing and the lurching when mowing it found a weak spot. Took off the line and went to the best welder I know. A great blacksmith. Got the line back on after waiting for seals. The local store had three. But I found out that VW 2003 series power steering banjo bolts have thicker copper washers and fit well. So Three Kubota and one VW and we are back to no leaks.
Bad Part is now when I start the tractor the three point mower raises. Is this air in the line? If so how do I bleed it? Before I get into any more trouble.
