LA1002 Hydraulic Hoses

[podzie]

I somehow sprang some pinhole leaks in 2 of my FEL hydraulic lines. The quick connects are still in great shape.

I'm wondering if you guys buy the new lines from TSC or Northern or if you have any other favorites. Should I buy direct from the dealer? I could go to Discount Hydraulic online, but am really in need of my loader tomorrow.

Also, I'm away from my tractor now. Does anyone know if the hoses are 3/8 or 1/2, and are they 48" or 60"?

Thanks for the advise, guys. I'm sorry if this should have been posted in Hydraulics.

I would pull the leaking lines off your fel and take them to a local shop that makes them while you wait. You will probably get a higher quality hose at a better price. If you have two leaky hoses now the others are probably getting ready to leak too. Watch them closely.

Look in your phone book under "hydraulics" for a local shop.

Hmmm, I'm in my shop right now, on a Sunday of a holiday weekend, waiting for a customer to bring me hoses to make, no extra charge for off hours. Why don't you stop by? Try getting that type of service from a big box store or the internet. DEAL LOCAL!

That is definitely great service that you should charge a little extra for!

Thanks, guys. I think I'll do what you're saying and just try to put off my loader work for a few days.

Seems like I'm always searching for more time....
