Leak in hydraulic line for rear jack

Ordered the new hose from HWH this morning it was $54.65 plus shipping, the would not give me a price for shipping until they placed the order. When the hose blew the MH dropped rather quickly, just something to think about when working under the MH.

My hoses are all 21 years old and must be original. Thanks for the clarification. The hydraulic shops I called did not that swagging tool. I was able to remove the cable and found two areas where the plastic cover was cracked and pulled away and about a 5 in long area where it was chaffed and worn into the steel braid causing the leak. I checked all the other lines and they looked OK. I think when I put the new line in I will take a section of garden hose and cover the area where the hose goes over the frame.

No, the label up front was clear to read AP2464.

Price on the whole hose is WAY out of line. Check with HWH for parts price. PN should be on both ends of the hose.

. Thanks Wolf, I was able to find and read the PN on the other end of the line where it attaches to the joy stick manifold. It is AP 2464, not sure where the R came from in Bud’s chart.

HWH pumps run at 2900 to 3200 PSI. You do NOT have to replace the complete line. IF the Shop has a tool(I do), you can install the metal flare ends on the end of the bad hose in front of the damaged area(cutting out the hose from the jack to the damaged spot) and then just make a short hose to go from the original to that Jack. Saves time and money. Doug

I called a Hydraulic shop yesterday and asked about adding a splice fitting where the line was chaffed through by the frame, and what they described to me was a junction fitting that screwed into the cut line with a retaining nut to secure it. They said it works well with Parker hoses. It was about $30 for the fitting and about $200 for the complete line. They could not install it on the MH so the line would have to be removed anyways. Is this what you are describing? Is there a name for this fitting I can give them?

No, I have a portable Hydraulic Swagging tool I purchased from HWH 25 years ago. The Metal ends are installed exactly like HWH installs them. HWH no longer sells that tool. There is nothing wrong with cutting out the bad spot and swagging a new fitting on the old hose and making a new hose for the length from the Jack to the bad area. Your other hoses are the same age as the bad one. You going to replace those also? If you follow the thread about NOT using the good part of the old hose. If it was a front Jack, I would replace the complete hose from the jack to the Joystick. The Swagging tool allows me to make HWH hoses to whatever length I need. Doug

This is the tool

That is a nice tool, it looks like you can use it without removing the whole hose, is that true?

Yes, That is the whole purpose of the tool. I use HWH fittings and hose. I can make 1/4 and 3/8 hoses. Doug

Price on the whole hose is WAY out of line. Check with HWH for parts price. PN should be on both ends of the hose.
