The Dosco was in 4 feet of soupy mud and now had 300 gallons of scalding hot Hydraulic Oil added to the mess. As I was the only one skinny enough to fit into the crawl space under the machine, I got elected to make the repair. I grabbed a few tools and had to dive into the hot soup and swim under the machine to a small air pocket, to where I could remove and replace the ruptured 3 inch diameter return line.
