    If we are being pessimistic, I wouldn't order any rebuild parts until after I tore it down. No way of knowing what you will need until you get there. I’m still optimistic that it will pop once it has more than one working injector.

    What decides hydraulic hose size

    The short answer, yes the 3/8 will work (on a tractor) for the single cylinder grapple. Other applications like a hydraulic auger may not. The long answer is here; https://blog.parker.com/site/usa/en-US/details-home-page/three-key-words-in-hydraulic-hose-sizing-id-dash-size-and-nomogram-us

    Right, all of the premade ones are 42-44” which would be slow going cutting up to 8 feet off the ground. On the flat, I know that small of cut would just be a waste of time and fuel. Hence the hesitation to do anything.
