New master cylinder - I spent about the last hour trying to get the line on the left started in again. I can’t seem to get it squared up. Not much room to work with either.

I was doing this to allow as much movement as possible for alignment - it still didn’t work lolI have had to start the line fittings before bolting the master cylinder down.
Pro tip, Hammers fix everything.
After some back and forth with the parts supplier, I verified they sold me the correct part. It’s likely someone cobbled this previously, so now I’m fixing all that as wellIt'll fit, It'll fit, looks the same it'll fit. Sum bish, it ain't gonna fit.Sorry Andy, been there too LOL
Hey Andy, before you start changing out tubing I would suggest this. Measure the id of your master cylinder port and the compare with the steel tube on the machine. You could use a drill bit to gauge id's. If they are the same just use a step down adapter to make it work. You don't have to worry about DOT approval on that skidder. Make save alot of extra work. I've seen same id tubing with different nuts.After some back and forth with the parts supplier, I verified they sold me the correct part.
