FEL hydraulics - hard hydraulic line replacement

[Mike52]

I have an MF 220 with a small Massey loader. The hard hydraulic lines on it are pretty rusted, and dinged up. Anyone know of a firm that can sell me replacements or build new ones? Or, am I better off getting the tubing bender out and making a set myself?

Any local hydraulic shop can make new ones for you, probably less expensively than purchasing new ones from MF. You will need more than a tubing bender to make the proper end fittings. Check the local Yellow Pages for your nearest hydraulic shop.

Or if you want to get rid of the steel hard lines altogether you can just fab up some replacement flexible hydraulic lines yourself using the replaceable type end fitting's.

Personally I would get new steel lines made up. They last ALOT longer and are much more damage resistant. Like stated previously, check the yellow pages for a local hydraulic shop.

Take your old lines to NAPA. they can make up new stainless lines with flared fittings.

you do relize that new hardlines are considered to be plantum plated when it comes to cost right?!?!
