Any advice about a few hydraulic leaks in a 1973 John Deere 820. There is a leak coming from the base of the steering column and another on the right side below the seat from a small metal line (presumably a hydraulic return).
There is a gasket, steering column to clutch housing, that might be leaking.
Which line, I see three, the one to the left, looks like it might be leaking. Fitting to block uses an o-ring, line to fitting is flare (JIC). Have you tried to tighten it?
It appears to be the far left line. My brother was driving it and sent me the photo. I asked about tightening also, so I should hear back in the next few days.
I'll order some gaskets and make a weekend out of it!
