Replacing high / low speed hose on mini excavator

This hydraulic hose goes from the swivel joint through the lower frame and into the drive housing and to the 2 speed valve on the drive motor. It was a bit of a challenge to clean out all of these passages so the hose can be snaked through to get it out and replaced.

I appreciate that!

At auction, keep an eye out for a hydraulic hose clamp fitting press, you may find that it comes with a bookoo amount of hose and fittings. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I probably average 1 hose every 3 years and about the same for cylinders although I do reseal my cylinders at home now.

12:24 Mr. Robertson you can use a correction Pen,, open an empty correction Pen and fill with house paint....

I do use a bottle of white out to mark some things.

[@williamzoom]

I recommend a bottle of Seal Lube it will help you get a little more life out of the lines you have not replaced & will slow down the leaks. Best 20$ you can spend when it comes to old hydros,

[@57bagre]

I'll keep that in mind.

Always curious. . . .was that the fix for the leak?

[@57bagre]

That hose was leaking real bad where I pointed out by the 2 speed valve. I don't remember if I found any other leaks, I recorded that back in April I think. That machine always has a couple leaks somewhere.
