Had a hose blow out on my Wood's backhoe yesterday. the bucket curler hose. Bummed me out big time as I was working on a big stump and was almost there. Then got the tractor stuck getting out of the area because I was positioned such that I needed to go over the area I was working on. More bummed.
Anyway. I decided the thing to do was to take the hose off and try to get a replacement. Having no knowledge what I was doing it took me about two hours to get it off and lost a lot of hydraulic fluid in the process. Fortunately I had gotten the backhoe off the tractor so the fluid was just from the backhoe.
My big question is, assuming that I can get a replacement. And get it threaded through all the various places this one was, do I need to somehow bleed the air out of the system?
Any help appreciated.
