Decoding hydraulic hose date codes

[Wayne County Hose]

Good News. The Dealer conceded to get me a NEW snowblower unit.

( then the problems start all over again) I'll know what to look for this time:thumbsup:.

Awesome! Tell the dealer next time you charge him for the hyd hose schooling you gave him.

I wanted to buy the "485 backhoe" in this purchase, I already had him check those hoses for date codes.

The whole purchase has been littered with issues (missing equipment, loose headlights, antennas, etc) . the dealer does not care - this is sad.

I'm still pushing for a discount on the backhoe.
