A power steering hose to the steering cylinder ruptured yesterday. This is about 100 hours after I replaced both power feed line and return line from the pump to the steering wheel valve due to rupture. Lesson learned---if one hose blows in the steering system, replace all the hoses. All the steering hoses are getting worked hard, and one hose rupturing is the "canary in the coal mine". The tractor has 1250 hours. The replacement hoses made at a hydraulic hose supply house seem to be much higher quality material than OEM. Should last a long time.
