1990 Ford 555c
Hello everyone! I recently bought a 1990 ford new Holland 555c with an extra-vator attachment. I dont know much about tractors and this is my first one although I grew up around them. I belive the problem im facing is at the boom to dipper pivot point there are 2 small rubber/braided hydraulic lines that come off the hard lines on the boom and connect back to hard lines internally on the dipper that allow for flex. One of these lines blew while using my extra-vator attachment and looking at trying to replace it the fittings that are in a tight space im not sure if i need to remove a pin to try to access them? Or maybe someone has had luck with a crows foot? Im hoping someone else has had this issue and can point me in the right direction i am trying to do this the easiest way I dont belive im experienced enough to trust myself to remove any pins. Any help is much appreciated and ny wording may be wrong but I am very new to this! The owners manual is got with the tractor was just a disc and I tried to play it and its just trashed so ill need to order a new one. This picture is close up of the fittings im trying g to remove they are judt in a tight spot.
