The main hydraulic line that operates the lift (inner and outer circuits) is leaking. I can not see where the line goes in order to remove it. The line appers to go into the box where all the hydraulic lines are located but I can not find the fitting. Does the floor of the cab have to be removed inorder to get to this line on a 5245?

Afraid so. Take out seat, back panel ,insulation and floor. Most leaks on top of the hyd. cover are caused by slack banjo bolts .We replaced the steel pipes with rubber hyd pipe and this made it possible to fit "push-pull" type couplings and also has stopped the banjo bolts working loose.

Hi,
If you just want to get to the hydraulic top cover where the pipes all connect, there is a short cut you can use to save removing the seat and floor.
At the back of the tractor take the 3 13mm headed bolts out which bolt the small rear window to the cab frame. There are 2 more on the angled bracket into the wings. Disconnect the main lift lever and take the knobs off the PMS and spool levers. Now just heave the back panel up and wedge it with a block of wood. Just be careful of the padding on the inner side of the wings. You should now be able to get to all the connections.
Regards
Mike

Thanks Dave & Mike, as it turns out the seat would not come out and after raising the floor as Mike suggested the leak was not at the fitting but the metal line had a hole caused by the cab floor rubbing against it. We had to remove the rear glass, cab floor with seat attached and take it out through the rear window. Will have to get the seat off (it will not slide) and do some work on the cab floor so it will not cause another leak. I'm not sure but the cab bolts were loose on one side when I got the tractor so it may have been moving up and down for sometime.

you mean the line for the 3pt assister ram ? i had it fail a few years ago, re-installed a longer line with a loop to cut off a worn through end if it would happen again. Still holding up pretty well.
I put some rockwool insulation between the line and the cab rail, which i think (hope!) is less abrasive than rubber on metal. ??
