Backhoe Broke my tractor..

[hurricanoday]

it is the hose on the backhoe that connects to the tractor. The one with the elbow/bend in it I believe, I will have to double check tonight. Now that I looked at the picture maybe that isn't correct. There are 2 hoses from the back hoe to the tractor one has the bend in it while the other lays flat on the step. I assume they are the hydraulic feed and return lines?

The tractor is under warranty, but yes has jgayman has said I can't take it there and honestly don't want to mess with the tractor I just spent 20k on it with 40hrs. I will probably end up trying to take the line off, just wanted to check in here first with people who has experience. I just called the parts department and ordered the hose to get it coming. The service said they have to see the hose first and I figured either way I need the house. But it should be covered. There are no major rub marks

So sisupower now you know what the issue is.

Good. As long as everyone is willing to take care of you. The dealer can get it don't right on their end and you walk away with no money spent and a new hose.

My main goal at work is to fix tractors right and take care of the customer any and every way I can.

Thank you for the follow-up. The hose you are referring to is a straight hose, it simply has a 90-degree elbow attached. Unless they are ordering the additional parts you will have to reuse the elbow and quick-connect coupler so hopefully those aren't where the leak is. The hose you are referring to is LVA20793 ($50.73).

I don't know about this particular hose - that is, whether it is somehow special in some way. But when I have damaged one of my hoses, or otherwise find a leak, I have disconnected the hoses and taken them in to a business that makes hydraulic hoses and while I have waited they make a perfect match - specs, fittings and all. They even have the kind of hose wrap / protector that your picture shows. After the trip to town and back I am back on the seat the same day.

If you look at the picture I linked in my first post, it is the hose that is under the "p" sticker. It quick connects to the tractor and then runs down the backhoe. I did a search and didn't find any info on removing it.

I assumed Deere would have the hose already together and ready to go.

I am rather certain it is removable. You may be like I was the first time I had a hydraulic hose issue - I knew very little about it and was not sure how to proceed- no confidence that I knew enough - but I live far from a dealer and needed my tractor. Once I got the confidence to tackle it, it was not such a big deal to remove and replace the hoses. There may even be a youtube video out there demonstrating how the connections work - it won't be the same hose you have but the components and process should be similar.

I was just going to post the same advice. I found my 'local' hydraulic hose shop by asking at my NAPA auto parts dealer. Worked out great. Took the mating fittings to them and they made sure the hose was to the right spec and built a new one while I waited. I would guess it will end up less than $50 as well.

If he is close enough to the Deere dealer then he doesn't have to spend money to get the same hose. Deere doesn't keep it in stock. If they have another kit they might switch it out and send kit back or just make one in house. But if it is warranty they have to order it. He just has to take hose off with couple wrenches and make sure no one starts tractor without that hose on. Cover up where it connects to tractor so dirt doesn't get in. Simple.

Surely the OP has a neighbor or a friend who knows a little more about removing hydraulic hoses, and can give some assistance. And glad to see sisu mention not running the tractor with that hose off. .. and good to remove all pressure from the hydraulics by moving the joy stick around with engine off.
