Hi All,
Been lurking on the forum for years and finally picked up an excavator for mostly farm-related stuff. This is my first metric machine on the farm and I need to replace the manifold. New one is here and I started to take off the old one and didn't make it very far. It is a very tight space and getting the hydraulic fittings lose is my first problem. I've attached some photos of the beast.
Some questions. First, is there a good place that I can research metric fittings? All of my current farm machines are SAE / JIC / NPT etc. Second, any tips on the proper tool to get after these fittings on the manifold? It looks like a 34 mm wrench is first on the list (my metric tool inventory is being upgraded). Would flare-nut wrenches (if I can find them this large) be the best tool?
Thanks,
Tom
