Yeah, I know.
There has been a small, tiny hydraulic oil seep from that HUGE feed line, which is mounted on the inside frame rail of my swather for some time now.
Yes, it's mounted right above that crimper and it's really hard to get to. Just a tiny, tiny, little leak; nothing to really worry about...........
So,
Last night the little leak turns into a nasty, full pressure flowing stream and it does this just before I drop the right drive tire in a hole.
Oh, fer sure, the oil fill is on the downhill side and when I take the fill cap off, what little oil is left in the tank tries to run out the fill tube. So, can't add any oil. :>(
There's not enough oil in the system. Header won't raise, Hydro won't move the machine forward or back. Just stuck in that derned hole and no drive oil.
Gotta fix it where it sets. I look on this day as a character building experience. Well, that and a bath in hydraulic oil. :>(
