I'm looking into replacing the front hydraulic lines on my 1987 JD 332. The PO let the lines rust and the quick couplers are shot and rusted on the lines. Is this something I can do from underneath the tractor?

Thanks for the help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, the lines should be replaced from underneath the tractor.

Great, thanks.

Out of curiosity, what was your replacement strategy before asking here? How were you planning on replacing the lines from anywhere but underneath the tractor?

Im curious if you had a better way that I hadn't thought of yet.

I'm a rookie to owning and working on garden tractors and only a weekend mechanic, so I had no replacement strategy. I was just hoping I could replace them from underneath, which I hope to be able to do on my own, versus having to pull the motor which I wouldn't be able to do.

Oh I see. I built my 420 from parts and put the lines in with no motor, also from underneath. Its either that or on a chain hoist at a 70°, like its doing a wheelie.
