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 for replacement hoses.
CAUTION:
If incorrectly rated hose is used, machine damage, injury or death could occur.
If hoses are to be fabricated, ensure hoses are rated at no less than 20 680 kPa (207 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 hose manufacturer. Use correct size and thread type as replaced hose.
