OK, so the JD 1050 has gone for 27 years, without an issue, other than oil changes, etc. Now, it has surprised me with a leak around the air bleed screws of the fuel finlter housing. Manual says, it may be necessary at some point to repair this, so not unexpected, given its age.
Problem is, mounting screw has about "grown" in place, so I can't get the darn thing off to change the O rings. Anyone have a favorite trick to break a bolt/screw loose without harming anything else (including me)?
I won't need to put out any more round bales of hay, this winter, unless this stinking weather comes back next week. I will need to begin brush hogging in about 3 weeks, so have time to repair all of these O rings, do an oil change, get a new battery (the one in it is old), and new front tires, to have it ready to go for another 10-15 years!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
