Leaking Leveler Hoses

Larger auto parts stores... NAPA make hydraulic hoses. If you can get it out just take it in and have a new one made... the ends should be less than $25 each and $1/ft for the hose.

I would pull and label all the hoses you think need replacing and have them built by a hose shop. Most good size towns have a hydraulic hose maker.

Hello
Just changed one. Parker ( parker.com ). Fyi don't try the field repair kit. Parker said they can fail. My lines are rated at 2700psi.
Good luck. Hope they are more accessible then mine

I have replaced 4 had them all made at NAPA some while I waited Bring the old hose in so they can match ends and buy new o rings

Thanks to all of you. Now please tell me how difficult the job is and how to bleed the air out of lines?

Thank you

I have replaced several over the years and never had to bleed them.

A couple of cycles and they will be bled as when the fluid is pushed to the leveler the air will rise to the top in the cylinder, and as it returns to the reservoir when retracted it will come out of the line and be good to go.

My experience: Local hydraulic shop. Bring the old one in...they duplicate it, fittings and all, maybe 10 minits.

Tractor Supply also carries pre-made hydraulic hoses, best price around too - if the ends are right for your application.

This is what I did, here in central Ca we have several hydraulic shops because of the farmers. Took them less than 10 minutes to match it. Make sure you mark the path the hose goes thru under your mh. Also be careful if your hose goes alongside your engine block. You need to protect it from the heat.
