When I got the machine (6700+ hours) the hex on the bottom of the hydraulic filter housing was toast. I tried using a strap wrench, but no go. Anybody have a trick or tip to getting it out? Prefer not to use heat since the housing appears to be aluminum AND all I have is a small propane torch. I'm thinking about purchasing a pipe wrench that will fit the housing. Thinking about it, I didn't try a pipe wrench on the rounded hex. I have one that size.
Any help, tips tricks would be appreciated. Seems to take a lot of work to keep a beat-up, neglected hoe running. I've got the typical power-shuttle issues as well, but for now, it moves to where I have to dig and I use the FEL on my tractor to move what I've dug.
