L2773 loader restore for L295DT
Problems:
unable to unscrew rusted connections: picture 1 and picture 3 show a stuck, rusted out, hydraulic fitting. Picture 3 shows it was welded to the female portion. How do I fix this issue? Grind off the welded female portion and weld on entire new female adapter?
Image 0490: There is supposed to be a female adapter hydraulic fitting, but it looks like previously it was clamped and welded shut. What is the best solution here? Cut it open and weld new female thread adapter? Or purchase entire new line that is already made. Or, scrap everything and build out an entire new custom line with something more accessible. Just in lines alone it would cost $2000 from messick, if I am reading the diagram correctly
From the rest of the images: You can see that the hydraulic lines are all rusted out, stuck, the pile is what I was able to take off using torch, and tons of leverage and stripping it out entirely, and cutting some with grinder. I just need general advice to solve this issue instead of buying original. I am willing to do welding.
Welding: If i do have to become a welder for best cost, can I run a welder in a off grid location? Meaning, I do not have grid electricity to power on major welders. Can I weld using acetylene to fix these issues pictured? The problems of the stuck on rusted out hose to the welded on manifold that has female adapter. Or welding new female adapters on to the hose that were rusted out or closed shut.
Last picture: I understand that all the lines go to a central controller with levers, whats the best and cheapest way to get one? Used is fine
Also I'm wondering: The flow is: Tractor->controller->hydraulic piston, where does the connection start from the tractor that will go on to the controller?
