Rhino 85 brook Hydro line that controls bucket cur

[Glen_Ippolito]

As I was digging a stump, which was very large I curled the bucket and hit the stump and broke my Hydro line for the bucket curl. Do any of you dealers have a price for the new Hydro line? It looks like the Line runs threw the back hoe boom is that something that can be done at home? Do I have to take pins out? Is it hard to feed it threw the booms? Thanks for all your help.

What broke? The fitting? It's hard to know what you need to do without knowing what broke.

When you remove the hydraulic line where it runs through the boom, tie a heavy string or machanics wire to the hose. When you pull the hose through the boom it pulls the string or wire with it.
Take the old hydraulic line and have a new one made up like it locally.
Tie new hose to the rope and use the rope to pull the new hose through the boom, hook up the new hose, make sure its not rubbing anywhere and start digging.

Just above the fitting near the cylinder.

They are not cheap..
I can quess/estimate . 1/4" line x 10' or 12' long would probably cost around $60 to $80 to get one made in my area.
Your price may vary..

Prices can really vary. It depends mostly on where you take it for repair. Generally, they are not what I'd call inexpensive.

If you did any damage to the fitting at the cylinder, you may need to remove the cylinder and have them replace that fitting. Otherwise, you should be able to just disconnect what's there and have the hose fixed. You may not need a complete hose but just a new fitting put on.

Without seeing it, it's all in my imagination.

It's not the fitting on the cylinder it's the fitting on the hose. Can that be replaced? What about the black canvas rapped around the hose. Does that get threaded threw the boom on the backhoe?
Once again I can't thank you guy's enough.

John is it worth just getting the hose from rhino? Or just have a local guy make it.

Some places can be picky about repairing a hose that wasn't purchased from them. You may have to buy the complete hose.
