Hydraulic Hose Replacement

Hydraulic hoses between the lift cylinders and hydraulic lock-up valves should be inspected frequently for leakage, kinking, cuts, cracks, abrasion, blisters, corrosion, exposed wire braid, or any other signs of wear or damage. Worn or damaged hose assemblies can fail during use and should be replaced immediately. See your John Deere Dealer or qualified service provider for replacement hoses.

Avoid serious injury or death while working under a raised implement. Replacement hoses must be properly rated.

If hoses are to be fabricated, ensure that hoses are rated at no less than 20 684 kPa (206.8 bar) (3000 psi) according to SAE standard J517, 100R17 hose specification.

Incorrect hose length or routing can increase chance of hose wear or damage. Use old hose as guide for length and hose routing.

Incorrect fittings can damage mating parts or cause leaks. Make sure to use steel fittings approved for use with the hose manufacturer. Use correct size and thread type as replaced hose.
