Replacing Some Hoses

[Scare Crow]

I have several hoses to replace on my FEL something I've never done before. What should I expect? any pressure at all in the lines with the tractor off? Will the lines need bleeding when I'm done or will cycling the FEL a few times do the trick? Any pointers on this I can get would be greatly appreciated.

What you said is correct.

Mark the ports and hoses with paint or tape.

I will recommend before loosening any hoses to cycle the FEL control levers a few times with engine off to relieve any trapped oil pressure.

Probably depends on whether you have the FEL raised or lowered ...

(Make sure it is lowered before you disconnect any lines ...)
