I have to replace the Hydraulic High Pressure Return Tube on my TC18. It caught on something while I was mowing which pulled it down enough to have the steering rod bend it enough to kink the pipe causing a fluid leek. The pipe I have to replace is #4 in the drawing. The previous owner of this tractor tied into this line to supply a valve to run a cylinder on the front mount snow blower. It looks like quite a job to replace the tube so I was thinking of simply running a new rubber hydraulic hose from the valve through my cab and under the seat as a short term solution. In the fall I'd have the time to replace the metal tube. What do your guys think?
