OK, I think I am in bad trouble on the brake line fitting that goes into the tractor housing. I just got a better look at the fitting after removing the brake line and the 1/2 in. hex fitting completely crumbles into pieces. There is not a bit of the hex intact to attach any kind of socket to. I am including a pic if I do it correctly. I talked to a tractor mechanic and he said that these tractors were used a lot in harvesting cotton and the cotton leaves which contained acid would settle into this cavity where the fitting is and corrode the fitting and the line. I have never seen anything flake off in pieces with just using a pick to clean around it to inspect the fitting.
I may have to use just the right brake and not have a left brake.
Do I try and heat the fitting with a torch and then try an easy out to break it loose, will heating the fitting cause a crack or damage the tractor housing. Or do I try and weld a nut on what is left of the fitting and try and get it out that way.
Please I am open for any suggestions. I have included pics of the new fitting and how the good line looks along with pics of the bad fitting.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
