The hydraulic return line by your left foot was leaking bad on my Oliver 1550, the fitting that the wrench goes on was nearly all rusted away.
I drained the hydraulic and took the battery out since it is right below the line. Vice grips wouldnt hold on it. I heated it and dumped cold water on it, no go. I heated it again and put a candle on it, no go again. I heated it again and this time it moved a little. I cut the line so I could turn it and screwed it out with my pliers. Got the new line in and hooked up and painted so it wont rust so quickly.
I cleaned all of the oil and dirt off under the battery box and painted there. Ready to put it back together after the paint dries. Glad that is done!!!!
