5065E fuel lines leaking

Lowcountry17 · Feb 18, 2019

My four-year old 5065E's fuel lines are leaking. Does anyone have the specs for the ID/OD on the supply and return lines? Also, any recs on what type of hose to go back with? Definitely don't want to use JD's stuff---these lines are cracking all over, leaking in multiple spots and look awful.

Go to your Deere dealer, as the replacement likely will not repeat your experience.. they will also have the size info needed.
The tractor is India-made so may account for the short term life of the lines.

Could take a piece to NAPA and get some, I like to stay with Parker

My dealer only had the part numbers for the hoses, no specs. And they said the hose would be the same as what's on it now. Not acceptable. I called another dealership and at least got the specs on the supply line ("he thinks"): 3/8" ID and 96.45 inches. Still no specs for return line. NAPA and Parks Auto had zero diesel fuel lines in stock. So, I reckon I'll try to find some diesel fuel line online: Gates, Parker, any others?

Still need specs for return line if anyone knows.

Thanks.

If you look at the other link Tx Jim list the spec which is SAE 30R7.
If you search on 30R7 you find its for low pressure high temp fuel line
30R7-03 is 3/16 ID, -04 is 1/4 ID, -05 is 5/16 and -06 is 3/8

Made by Goodyear and others. And local stores with diesel fuel line should meet the same spec
