Bushhogging today, I noticed some fluid was on the left front tire, inside. It looked like oil, which is never a good sign. It's bone dry out here, so it can't be water from the ground. I got her back to the house, in the shade, and found the source. I assume this is the hydraulic pump? It has four bolts on the bottom of it where the line connects to the pump (You can get a good idea by looking at the connection of the line just to the right of the leaking line- they look the same). I assume I might can tighten those bolts up and make it stop leaking. But, given my propensity to really screw up an easy job, and Murphy's love of living here on my place, I wanted to check with y'all first.
JD790, 285 hours, never been rolled, flipped, or wrecked, but she's done just about everything else a tractor can do. Pic is attached.
Is this a simple fix? Could the pump be going bad? If it's just a matter of "Tighten the line", then heck yeah. My fear is, it's something worse.
