Blew a hydraulic hose

[3Ts]

When they build your hose be aware that (in my experience) they will most likely use R1 or R2 type of hose unless you tell them otherwise. Your hose is R17 which means it is more flexible and can bend in a tighter radius than the R1 and R2. Other than that for our tractor usage it doesn't make much difference.

I really dont like R17 hose in the smaller sizes because its usually one wire braid. R16 is what I prefer.

Did the OP get the hose made yet??? Got good advise so far...

Pretty standard hose. 3/8" with 1/2" Female JIC fittings. That hose should cost $10-$15 at a napa or similar.

And another point....Just about all the tractors I have been around, AG equipment always seems to upsize the fitting by one. IE: 3/8" hose with 1/2" fittings. 1/2" hose with 5/8" fittings...etc. My assumption is to not reduce flow through the restriction of the fitting but maintaining the smaller, cheaper, and more flexible hose. But its something that is almost never seen in industrial hydraulics. Almost always hose size = fitting size.

I have not got the hose yet. Had to travel for business.

The closest place for me is the NH dealer. They custom make them, as long as you ask. If you don't ask, they order the OEM part for big dollars.
