So I have a wonderful (/snark) JD 790 CUT that I got with our house, included with it was a Bush Hog mower and a JD 70 front end loader. To say the tractor is in poor shape is an understatement. We have replaced the battery, need to replace the connectors for the batter, the two front tires had to be replaced because of dry rot and the rear tires are going the same way.
The front end loader is missing one of the quick release rods, and I can't get a replacement because JD is apparently not making parts for this front end loader.
Of course one of the hydraulic hoses blew (dry rot, of course). We picked up replacement hose at TSC and of course the hoses do not fit. I checked JD parts and they have NO parts available - at all - for the JD 70 front end loader.
I REALLY need some help here - we need to get that line replaced so we can use the front end loader. The hose that blew is the one that allows the bucket to tip down. If JD isn't making the parts (and the JD parts site isn't offering a substitute) what am I supposed to do?
If there is a technical name for this particular hydraulic line I'd love to know it - google isn't being particularly helpful in this endeavor.
