Leaking hydraulics on G3033H

rjfoster · May 13, 2020

Noticed fluid on the ground today and after inspecting the underside of the tractor, I found that there is a crack in one of the metal tubes. The crack is one the forward tube, just below the flat plate (red dot on image).

Not having assess to a parts manual, I am not sure what the front metal hydraulic line is officially named.

Does anyone happen to know the part number for this part and do you have to replace both metal hoses? I did not want to remove the cracked one, so I am not sure if it will remove as one or two metal tubes.

I am not sure as to why the metal would crack since there are no dents or damage to the metal. Just an odd area for metal fatigue to occur.

It may also be an odd question.... although the replacement part would be made of metal, has anyone ever replaced it with a high pressure hydraulic hose?

Thanks for any help that can be given.

Looking at the parts manual, it appears to be 40229692. Not the greatest picture showing the part, considering the part shows as one hose. The semi-wording makes it appear that both metal hoses are replaced as a unit.

Thanks for the parts manual.

Learned that the actual LS parts diagram is quite a bit different than the one that is available online. And what it more fun is that the local dealer is showing a different part number than the one that LS Tractor shows and gave. But then again, per the conversation that I had with LS via messenger "Our parts team may have selected the wrong one based on the description." I guess that the parts department only knows how to choose parts from computer drawings and not a picture of the actual part on the tractor.

I had the same crack and leak. I ordered a new part but it was the wrong number. I got stuck paying shipping.... I returned the wrong part and just removed, cleaned and braised the crack. That was last year and not a drop of oil since. I intend to fab up a skid plate for this area. What happed on mine was I was knocking down some brush and a tree rolled up a contacted the hyd pressure line.

Honestly, I think I have a good dealer but I wasn't going to play the "Lets guess what part this is" game.
