250 OX66 - Tilt Cylinder Hydraulic Line Fitting Broken

[jwbergeron]

Looking for some help. The hydraulic line connecting tilt cylinder to the main assembly (at the bottom of the cylinder) was leaking. In the process of replacing the line, the port on the bottom of the main assembly (female threaded into bottom of the frame) got stripped. I was thinking maybe drilling it out, and retapping for a larger bushing. I can't find anybody that has a bushing for a flared hydraulic line, let alone metric and stainless. Anyone have any other ideas? (Short of spending the $3,000 on a new assembly).

Any thoughts would be great.

Well, I pulled the whole PT unit and brought it to a machine shop. They're scratching their heads a little, but asked me to leave it....hopefully they'll think of something. I'll keep you posted.
