I will trade your leaky motorcycle wheel for my leaky hydraulic line on the skid steer that requires the engine to be removed to replace - 30-40 hour job if you know what you are doing....

Steel lines that can’t come out without engine removal. Gonna try replacing with rubber lines before pulling motor.

Did just that with the wifes 99 Blazer when it blew the long brake line. They told me they needed to drop the gas tank, and that those lines usually broke when attempting removal, and that since the long line wasnt sold, I needed to pay three hours of shop time for a guy to fab up the new line. Yeah, buddy, not happening.

Update, a nice gent in Fairfax who ran over a ratchet strap back in July and bought a spare final drive while his was repaired offered to let me borrow it while mine gets sorted......... Said back in July that some of the parts were long lead, I imagine thats not gotten better.

Friend/neighbor has a largish John Deere construction backhoe in great overall condition that is "dead in place" because of the failure of the "lift pump" for the hydrostatic system. You have to dismantle the entire machine down to about where it first started life on an assembly line just to get to that damned pump. So it sits...he bought another backhoe..LOL.

Frustrating for sure! All engineers should be required to work “in the field” for 5 years before designing/building anything.
