The hydraulic line in the instrument panel of my JD 40S has always leaked at the fittings. Now it cracked and is gushing oil. I removed the line (that was fun!) and note that it has been brazed three times in the past and that the brass fittings are stripped. I think I can replace the line with 1/2 inch hydraulic hose and galvanized plumbing fittings. Any advice on doing this? What do I do to seal the fitinggs...teflon tape or what?
Thanks.
