Forgot to add, place a piece of cloth over the fitting when driving it with the mallet so as u dont get any crap in!

cut the pipe off at the nut and use a socket

if your running a mog with all the hydraulic circuits on it you want to be looking at a swager and ends in your shed, also a supply of the metric ends for steel pipe(the ones with olives in them) 'cos the only time you'll burst a pipe is when everyone is shut!!!

Parquip is a very good company to deal with for all hydraulic needs, as well as howford hydraulics, although a little pricier, do not use re-usable ends on the mog circuits, they are a temp fixture and are banned in industry, they will not pass testing, also do not re-use old ends as you have no idea of whether they have been over swaged before, same with old flexipipes. the cost of new stuff is very small compared with litigation in the event of a failure due to re-using old kit. all your mog stuff is either metric light or metric heavy, thread size being the difference in fitting size usually designated by an Lor an S in the parts catalouge next to the fitting description. just remember when working on hydraulics be aware that a tiny leak is under high pressure is extremely dangerous and can cut tissue like a knife, causing untold problems

The pipe which burst is the top one of these two which you can see is beginning to corrode

I managed to loosen the nut with the two hammer technique and and get it apart, took it to the local agri merchant who made up a nice new pipe....................with different ends to mine so I didn't gain anything, the correct ends will be with them tomorrow.

And a good kith to your Ag Merchant.

Or swop to a different supplier.

PS

I would say (even as a careful Scots bred Co Antrim farmers Son)

That one could really risk replacing all the hydraulic hoses.
