1250 hydro
 
What is the weep hole for on top of the relief valves. I have one that leaks. Can it be brazed shut?????

The weep hole at the top is a "vent" hole. If you have fluid coming out, then (A) replace the relief valve , or (B) have it re-built.

If one were to switch the release valves, putting the leaky one in the reverse position, perhaps it would be livable as-is. Maybe hose it down once per year until you find a donor tractor for $50 bucks somewhere, with a good valve. It can happen!

Yes, I'm cheap

You could do that, and then you run the risk of forgetting to keep eye on fluid, run it dry, damage more, and have to spend more money and time to repair it plus still have to replace the valve.
