I have a Ford 2000 tractor, and I am having to spend a lot of time repairing holes in the power steering lines. The metal lines are a silver color, but I cannot tell if they are stainless steel, or what.

I have some spare copper laying around. Can I use copper to replace these lines.

I am referring to the 1/4 lines on the tractor (from the pump to the cylinders).

Thanks for your help!!!

I would not recommend copper for a high pressure hydraulic line. Use the correct material. Often steel originally (tough, cheap, rusts through eventually).Cupro-nickel is common replacement - strong, resists corrosion and easy to work with.

Checked with Napa, and they had the exact line pre-assembled for less than $5.
