Loader 1920 loader hydraulic line rplacement

[davegomolka]

Hello all. My Ford loader (model 1708) on my Ford tractor (model 1920) has delevoped a leak on one of the hard hydraulic lines that run down the loader arm. I know replacment is pretty straightforward, loosen connections and replace line. However, I have never done this and I don't know if I have to bleed any pressure out of the lines first. Has anybody ever done this and do I have to bleed pressure? If so, how do I do it? Dont want to get sprayed with high pressure oil...

Thanks

With the engine off move the loader control around to relieve all the pressure. It will equalize and cause no problems.
