I was doing some "aggressive" plowing with the 1066 dragging my tandem to thwart the spread of a grass fire onto my place. I was on my third pass when the "66 lunged forward. As I hit the clutch and brakes, hydraulic fluid splattered the back of the cab. The old nylon flex lines seperated and tore loose when the hitch pin dropped, but the force cracked the weld on the hard line going into the splitter box. We tried brazing it, but it"s leaking again.
Is there a way to repair it without replacing the box and two lines connecting under the seat? I hate to have flex lines running all over with Y"s and such, but the replacement lines and box are very pricey. Can the block be tapped and the lines be flared or compression jointed? Thanks for the help.

BTW; The fire got within 100 feet of my place, but was stopped. Very interesting experience that I don"t need to repeat.
