leaky lines!!

[85-m1028]

my oil cooling lines are beggining to leak at the rubber to metal connection. I have heard that this is a common issue, has anyone found a good solution to this problem!!!

:banghead: new lines....

from what I understand though, you can have them made up at pretty much any hydraulic shop...

a hydraulic shop!! they have better fittings and stronger lines that makes sence, but can they take the heat

Yep they can take the heat. The hydro fluid gets mighty hot pushing those dozers and excavators around.

There are NOS sets around too. I bought a residue M1009 that had a fresh set on it and I swapped mine out. My originals were plain rubber hoses, but these "new" ones have a woven fiber covering over the rubber. Pretty tough stuff.

hydro fluid get's really really HOT, one time I was work on a IH 666hydro and it blew a hose I got hydraulic oil all over me and it hurt like h#%%.

I have thought about dragging home an cucv carcas to have at for spares but I think the day that happens will be the last thing I ever do, women just don't understand!! :shakehead: . I'll look around for the braided lines, the hydraulic lines sound cool but I don't know of any shops in my area I'll have to look into that as well
