Delivery pipe

[mrtrathen]

Greetings all, I have a leaky delivery pipe. The pipe comes from the HST to the FEL. The part number is 13025134600. I can't find any where that has it. Tractor is a T353 HST. #8

Many shops that specialize in hydraulic hoses also do ridgid line.
I just had 3 made last week.
Now I need to take one back to bend one bend a little more.
To be fair it was twisted and cut in half.

The cold drawn seamless tubing (stainless steel) for hydraulic lines, I used to purchase at a Parker supply house.
I would suggest that you cut the portion out that has the leak and buy some tubing and a couple hydraulic compression fittings to replace the section you have removed.
That will be much less labor than trying to replace the whole line.

MAX,
The leak is at the end of the pipe where it fits into the FEL diverter. It's at the neck of the compression fitting.

Also, if you replace metal pipe with hydraulic hose you will have an increase in hydraulic temperature. The pipes preform some cooling effect, some manufacturers rely on this.

That sounds like an assembly error from the loader manufactuer. Unless it was hit with something that was getting moved.

For me, I would identify the fitting type and call the nearest Parker supply house to confirm they have stock. It would be a 2 1/2 hour one way trip for me. Well worth the time as far as I'm concerned.
Ask them if they have dies for bending your size hydraulic pipe, I would still cut the pipe off and take it to them to match the shape.
Like @404nouser says, it may be easier to replace the section with hydraulic hose. 2 to 3 feet at 2700psi is not going to add much heat. If you go the hose route you may want to consider a wrap to lower abrasion from vibration and kinetic forces at the new fitting locations.
