Tip 1: 5/8" NF bolt = fitting saver for those tough ones so the brass fitting doesn't smash.
Tip 2: Tip: add a section of rubber hose here for off-road flex.
The return line Bung leaks. Grind out the solder and weld, or re-solder ? Not much of a solderer.

Unsure about what you're saying here, DavidWymore:
- Is this a fix you completed, or are you asking for a fix for the condition here?
Engine blew HG again
paid my son and some buddies to swap whole engine and also put a NOS rebuilt transmission in
Air didn’t work. Unloader was assembled wrong, still want the TM to make sure it’s right.
clutch slips, rebuilt 4 finger. Gotta pull trans again
didn’t know about adjusting, hopefully that’s it. Maybe throw the one that was working in the truck back in.
Lift pump wouldn’t run…again. Tank full of crud. That busted solder on the return line must have let dirt and moisture in. Apparently, the red pumps are rebuildable. Anyone done it? The side plug makes it a real pain to get in and out of the tank.
I think I’m gonna reconfigure the hanger bracket. Or just put a clicker pump on the cursed thing. Last night I needed to get it out of the shop so I threw a spare bracket in with an old short piece of hose to suck cleaner fuel off the top.

Redundancy is real good for peace-of-mind...
...IF you can remember that you got it, at that critical (and "exciting") moment!
