i did a bad thing today

Post by ib4hoyt » Mon Nov 26, 2012 4:15 pm

a tree fell in between the blade and the front of the tractor, it hit just right and busted off the angle cylinder coupling right where it goes into the cylinder, i tried and easy out,, but no luck yet, thinking of heating it some...any ideas before i mess it up?

I have a set of internal pipe wrenches I got from Harbor Freight. Not the best setup, but I have gotten a few broken off fittings out with them.
