Backhoe Broke my tractor..

I've popped plenty of hoses. Pop your leaky hose off, put a plastic bag over the exposed ends with a rubber band to keep dust out, and bring your bad hose to a hydraulic jobber shop (your Napa, a good farm and fleet shop, Parker, and so forth) and have them make a new hose.

you guys were right, once I finally got down there and looked it took me about 20seconds to get the hose off. I went into the dealer today and they had the new hose ready to go. ( I called and ordered it earlier this week)

Just had to take the elbow fitting off. They even threw in 2 quarts of fluid to replace any I lost. Wasn't bad at all.
I'm still debating powergard since it covers the transportation, but they haven't been able to answer 100% if it will cover my backhoe and loader since it was factory installed.

I will torque the fitting and install when this weekend and get back trenching

Thanks Again :thumbsup:

I would get the extra warranty. I've repaired a lot of tractors that had it and they were thankful they got it!! It should cover loader and backhoe.
