No. It was a dry fit. Farm parts store let me take them home with what I thought the hose Lengths needed to be. If they needed to be different than lengths I'd only be out a couple bucks for longer hose or a free trim if the estimate was too long. Safe way to test the hoses before the crimps were made.

Just saw your post, ARK. I replaced all hoses on the earlier of the 2 4300s I rebuilt.
I went with standard-length pre-made 1/4" hoses from SurpCntr, and JIC-to-ORFS
fittings from DHH. 90-deg adapters from them, two. Cost less than custom hoses.
Some of these JD FELs have restriction adapters in the hose....1/4" hose is a benefit.
Works great.

I'm surprised they didn't make the hose with swivels on the hose where the cyl connection is (instead of using swivel adapters)......it'll work fine either way
