Working on a friends JD 120 excavator, he blew a hose down in the bowels of the machine. Of course its in a clearcut, far from the road, and its been -20 C the last few days.
Nut on the hose thats in the way to the one we are trying to remove is 1.25" on the flats - jic I think onto a metric adapter.
He tried to get at it from the top by feel with a crowsfoot on 36" of extensions.
My other friend and I tried for an hour as well before deciding to fire it up and swing it so we could get it in the bottom. After an hour of breathing and drinking dripping hydraulic fluid underneath we can get on the nut with a combination wrench but can't break it loose before wrench hits other components.
My buddy wants to heat it with a torch. I've explained what the results of a wood and oil soaked compartment meeting torch looks like.
I can't get a mini sledge into the space to beat on a cut off open end wrench. Heading tonight to look for a breaker bar with micro fine rachet that I can bend or weld into a shape that works on a crowsfoot.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
