farm pro 2425 hose help please

[ymurf]

I have a Farm Pro 2425 and when i lift the 3 point with my brush hog hooked up I have a hydraulic leak. On the right side under the seat(the right side as your sitting on tractor) there is a hose which i believe they call a banjo fitting on the end.It has a bolt going through it and hydraulic fluid leaks a pretty good drip from there when i lift the 3 point.Do these have o-rings in them or do i replace the whole hose?Any help would be greatly appreciated..

They have rubberized washers between the banjo fitting and whatever it's mated to (hydraulics too). You can get OE replacements for them (50-75 cents each maybe) from Jinma/FarmPro/NorTrac/et cetera. The OE however are not suitable for more than one-time use. Aftermarket equivalents are more expensive ($1.50-$2.00 each). Some dealers have them, as do most Japanese and European motorcycle shops

We keep the rubber coated washers in stock,the original crush washers can only be used once,we have found the rubber coated washers can be used multiple times,if you would like to get some you can order online or call Jerry at the shop 979-865-4002

Have you tried to tighten the bolt up at all?
Sometimes that's all it takes with those banjo bolts to compress the seal a little more.

Rob makes an excellent point. On my 454, one of the steering hose banjos persistently weeped on the cylinder. I was initially afraid of overtightening, for fear of crushing the fitting. But out of frustration, I put a torque wrench on the thing and tightened a few pounds at a time. I was pleased to realize that the leak had stopped by the time I'd applied only 65 ft-lbs
