Hydraulic hoses

[Crutches]

I have a Kubota L3600 with a front end loader. The loader hydraulic hoses are dry rotten and starting to leak. It is obvious how to disconnect and replace them but how do you bleed the line after a new hose is installed? There is nothing in the owners manual about this subject.

Cycle functions a few times and the air will be sent to tank.

You do not have to bleed hydraulic lines.

Crutches,
My John Deere manual says to raise the FEL to max height a couple times and check the oil level. Extend the bucket cylinder several times and check the oil level. They instruct you to do this 8 times, but this is for when you replace or rebuild a cylinder, so I would assume that if you do this a few times all of the air would bleed to the oil storage tank like the other poster said. You probably do not have to check the oil level as well. If the FEL acts spongy, do it a few more times.

Just to state the obvious (but I didn't know the first time) you can get hydraulic hoses made to order at pretty much anyplace that sells hydraulics stuff.

There is no need to get a Kubota or Deere replacement part.
