Allis Chalmers HD11EP Steering hydraulics

[dodgecharger11]

Hi, I just joined this forum and have only been dozer operating for 4 years. A couple of days ago a hose blew up front left side which I think is one of the steering flexible hoses. My dozer is an old Allis Chalmers HD11EP, around 1967 build I think. The hoses onto the filters is fairly easy but down below going to the steering pump looks a bit more difficult. Does anyone know what the best approach is,through belly plate or lower sideplate cover, or both?

That requires some very specific knowledge, good luck. It looks a beast, what size engine?
