Hydraulic repair help!

Shucks, simply remouve the line and get the damaged area brazed.
Better yet get a similar sized steel tube, maybe 2 inches long, split it and while clamped in place braze it on as a patch.
Bet that as a repair it would oulast the rest of the tractor.
Naturally everything needs to be squeeky clean for a good repair.
Then flush the line to remouve any contaminants (gas, varsol etc).

If as you say this is low pressure, then a piece of split hose and maybe 2 hose clamps should do the trick.

I've welded a return hydraulic line in a pinch. Set your welder on the lowest setting and use a small rod. 6011 or 6013 will fill better. Use a coat hanger or filler rod and place on the hole like you are TIG welding, then quickly strike the top the filler rod with the arc and back off quickly and repeat as required. Be careful or you can make a bigger hole than you started with.
