It shows tightening loose hydraulic hoses/fittings with 7/8 and 3/4 inch wrenches, then removing the belly mower to clean off dripped hydraulic fluid and grease using a degreaser spray and hose-down, plus cleaning the tractor's underbody. Best for owners already following this leak saga or wanting a real cleanup-after-repair walkthrough, not a general overview.
Posted by the Houndsman One channel, an owner working on their own GC1710 and documenting the repair as it unfolds.
Each of the hydraulic lines had been pretty loose, which let hydraulic fluid drip down onto the mower underneath.
Tighten the fittings using a 7/8 inch and a 3/4 inch open box wrench, going around to each hose until there are no drips or leaks.
Remove the mower, spray on a degreaser cleaner, let it sit, then hose it off to remove the bulk of the grease and hydraulic fluid.
