Default Sprung a leak

Got the fuel tank in and lines run. Went to crank it and the hydro fluid went flying. I noticed a little wet spot under one of the lines coming off the pump the other day so I snugged up the fittings. That opened up the cracked line.

I had a spare set of lines for an 1811, so I cut one in half and bent it to mate up with other half of the broken line going to the steering valve. I just need to pick up a 3/8 compression fitting tomorrow. Keep your compression fitting comments to yourselves, please! I know what I'm doing. And I slept at a Holiday Inn last night.

I may drop the drive shaft and fire it up tonight anyway.
