I've been buying $10 lines for years, I use cheap galvanized gas line fittings if I need adapters. Withstands over 3k psi for yrs so far. 🤷‍♂️👌

The comments are the most valuable thing here. Good info. To Learn from other people.

I would not recommend doing this at all. I work for a custom hydraulic hose shop and the fittings that you are using are not interchangable. You're replacing a O-ring Boss fitting with NPT threads and is very dangerous when you get to higher pressures. A good hose shop will be able to make this at a resonable cost and less leak points with the correct fittings.

The house is he is talking about you would get like at a family farm center a orscheln's or a central tractor and they do really work good I have done it for years and he has great ideas too I like to thank him for sharing everything

Great info, thanks

No PTFE tape on pipe thread, the original looked like a full-time swivel, and every connection is another leak point. The cost of lost hydraulic fluid alone if there is a mistake should at least make you think twice before using multiple adapters. A good local hose shop will give you a duplicate of your exact assembly for more reliable results. I get what you're saying here, and in a pinch, it is a quick solution to keep you up and running, but long term I'd recommend replacing with the OEM specified hose and connections. LOL I thought I was just seeing things when I saw a full time swivel ORB fitting and he was putting a pipe thread in the port... seeing that other people see that... I got a shiver down my spine. Maybe that was done for comments and shock value. When in doubt, support your local hose shop and get what you need correctly the first time. A cylinder or valve replacement if you run the hydraulic reservoir dry is going to cost you way-way more than what you'd put into a correct hose.

Need an update on this. How’s this working out?

What year and model is the tractor just got one with the same grill

Are the hydraulic hoses you made still working good? Thank you.

Where do you get the hoses for that cheap

MY GOD!!! You install a tapered pipe thread into an o-ring boss port!!! Something tells me the other port on the tube is JIC that you jammed that pipe fitting into. Dude, you're going to hurt yourself or someone else doing shit like that. Your number one thing is to understand how the port seals and then move on from there.

hello Where did you source the lines and fittings i have line that good but leak sure i use Teflon tape but please tell where to look for replacement lines at

Lol my IT guy shot me this video for a laugh. All the other techs on this thread saw the same guess work and piece mealing I did. Yes hydraulics for your machine can be costly, but you get what you pay for. Good luck.

Where did you source the lines and fittings

I paid $90 NZD for a 50cm 3/8 turbo oil feed line using swags. Now I need to buy another I'm looking harder at solutions

Eh, in a bind?, maybe, more fittings is more leaks

I just paid over 200$ for hose and installation for my poorly made bobcat grapple that pinches the hoses

There are hundreds of different types of fittings and hoses. I would rather pay the extra money and get it done right than spend hours researching what exact fittings and thread I have and what hose I need.

I see the comment section does not like the mismatch of fittings - understandable - have you figured if you can get the correct fittings that accomplish what you did safely?

Name fits.

That's my problem, I bought a case excavator and put all those extensions to save money- but right now , it's all leaking like crazy! One is a lefty and another a righty, so it's all a mess!

Don’t risk your safety and the safety of others. Get only a validated hose assembly which is fit for purpose. #1800hosevan

This is a dangerous proposition. Hydraulics work under very high pressures, 2,000 to 20,000psi in tight spaces on very heavy equipment. Do not use OTC MAYPOP (May Pop at any time) junk fittings and hose. I reject you can purchase even crap hose for the prices quoted in this video. Do you research! Put the hose in the wrong place,, rub a hole in it.. watch the high pressure fluid spray on the hot engine, burst into flames and burn your operator to death.. Skimp on parts that are not life threatening! There is a reason hydraulics are expensive, they cost money to make right. Don’t buy Chinese, Turkish crap if you value your people! Trust me here, low budget connectors that put hoses in the wrong position will rub, pinch, kink, stretch tear apart and you will be sorry.

Very misleading information your using NPT in the place of ORB on the cylinder and the steel line was JIC not NPT. ORB seals with a Orings where NPT seals with a taper. How much hydraulic fluid do you use a month? My guess is a lot. If you can’t afford to fix it right sell your equipment.

Not the best solution. He’s adding adaptors and creating potential leak points.

Save 400 now, blow 4000 later on. Someone clearly has no either how different fittings work. What next? Crimp your own hoses with a hammer and anvil? Get outta here.

I'm a hydraulic hose technician and this is the dumbest video I have ever seen. Don't just pull off all the hoses without marking them at least and take them to a hydraulics shop or have a technician come and do it properly. It might cost a bit more but at least your equipment won't fail and hurt or kill someone.

I don't know who scamed you for your hose , half inch fittings are about 5 euro each half Inch hose is 8 euro per meter most hose fitter will make you a hose to size for a 5er in labour. What you are doing with the pre made hoses and adapters is just dumb.
