I have a ditch bank flail mower that had a hydraulic hose go bad. Without it, I am unable to use the flail. I have spent two days and visited three different hydraulic repair shops in my area with none of them being able to build me a new hose.

My next step is to order one online, but I have no idea how to identify the size and types of adapters. The only thing I know for sure is one end has a standard pioneer adapter on it. The rest is a mystery to me. If anyone can help me identify the size and type of adapters as well as the hose size I would greatly appreciate it. Never thought getting a replacement would be so difficult!

My hyd shop cuts the crimp off of any odd ball fitting that I take in there and reuse’s the old fitting with a new crimp band.

Good shop, honest.
He's not out to "upgrade "sales.
Sure hope his clients appreciate his tactics.

Quite often you can replace the banjo bolt with an ORB (o-ring boss) fitting, then you can just use a regular hose.

Do you have a way to measure the threads on the bolt?

Edit: I seriously doubt any local or most online hose shops will have crimp on banjo fittings...I've never even seen one! What brand mower is this?

Ironically the leak is under the crimp. All three shops I took it to said they will not use my ends or re-crimp due to liability issues.

Banjo bolt! Finally figured out what that end is called!

The quick coupler end, looks like a Male 1/2" BSPP to me.

You should be able to use generic NPT hose with a whatever fittings to match old hose...
The problem is the crimped on banjo, especially if it's something metric.
