No worries Bill.  

The barn is due for a repaint anyway.

Sadly, even a 100% raise would amount to nothing!

@cleat

 

I got the pipe from Lincoln at A to Z Tractor  based on what part numbers I could find various places online. 

 

Here's a screenshot of your GT1600 Hydro project showing the pipe we need. 

 

 

 

 

The one we got is pre-bent to a form where the yellow line is so it interferes with the brake mechanism. 

 

 

 

Do you have a correct part number or any other suggestions?

That pipe on a gt 1800, the number is 109377. My question is, what all do you have to remove to expose the pipe like in the picture and wonder if I can strip my gt1800 down like that?

Remove the seat, rear fender, gas tank and support and you will be good to go. Be sure to clean the area around the two bolts holding the tank mount, they go directly into the top of the transaxle and you don't want any dirt getting in there. I responded to your other post on a source of fittings and hoses. The 90* fitting on the front of the Eaton 1100 is an "O" Ring fitting so it can be turned as needed for clearance.

Note the call out. 

 

The FRONT fitting can be spun. 

 

The rear of the hose and the bend in the middle as shown by the yellow drawn line above can be different. 

 

I ordered a pipe based on (then current) available information which turned out wrong. 

Lincoln at A to Z Tractor in PA was able to get the correct parts sent up.  

 

@homefried1@yahoo.com

I still have that pipe. 

Might be the right one for YOUR application.

I was referring to the replacement of the steel tube with a hose where the tight clearance would be a problem.

Hope the steel tube you have can help @homefried1@yahoo.com out with his leak.

Gotcha... I remember that though now. 

 

We didn't go with a flexible hose because we couldn't get the end started without separating transmission from frame....

 

Lesson here. 

ALWAYS replace and rebuild the WHOLE hydraulic system. 

@cleat had the right idea on installing the new valve and lines while the steering tower is mostly disassembled.
