Copper tubing will fatigue and break. How soon is hard to say; the 801 series doesn't have a lot of vibration. But if the line breaks suddenly, it could dump a lot of fuel on the top of the engine where it could run down the right-hand side to be ignited by ignition sparks. I'd say there's fairly small risk of this happening, but it is a possibility.
The rubber fuel line is not original, but it is common to cut the fuel line to work on the engine, then splice it back with rubber. My tractor was done that way, but I eventually replaced the hose because I could get fuel hose that would hold up.
The correct way to do it is to use steel line. Brake line will work fine, but you'll probably need to cut the line to length, which means you'll need a double-flare tool to put the correct flare on the steel tubing.
