David Brown 1200 Oil Pickup Hose

[DB1200]

Hello all, I am trying to replace the oil pickup hose on the suction side of the hydraulics. It's the one that goes from the bottom of the gear box to the metal pipe. I can't find this anywhere and no local shops have anything like it. It's 2 inches on one side and 1 3/4 on the other. Any ideas where to get this special hose. It's holding up production lol.

Could you possibly make a steel pipe with the reduced size built into it ? Then use the proper size hose on each end to make the connection.

You could try a plumbing supply house, they have fernco fitting that allow you to increase or reduce pipe sizes. I don't know if these fitting would hold up to the oil without breaking down.

I guess I could do that but sure would be nice to find a hose like that one.
