L3400 hydraulic leak

Thanks for the reply. Do you have to drain the hydraulic fluid in order to change the hose? Thanks again for your help.

I just replaced mine on my L2800, it's very easy to replace and does not require any fluid draining. A little fluid will pour out by not much. Just be sure to have the replacement hose ready to go with clamps installed so you can quickly pull the old one off and slip on the new one thereby minimizing any contaminants getting in the fluid.

I ordered my hose from tractorsmart. It arrived in two days to MD.

Would you guys mind sharing with us the part number of the hose. Looks like a spare on hand might be a good idea.
Thanks in advance...

Here is the P/N for the the hydraulic inlet hose used on my HST L2800; TC220-33330. I don't know if it's used on other models.

Kubota had a vender problem with these hoses, so a new one was issued to the dealers. This is done under warranty at any Kubota dealer.

An actual "warranty" ... that's a good one. Or do you mean that it's a "Product Improvement bulletin"? In either case, I guess I need to order one...

If your dealer can't get this under warranty they are not trying

What "year" model are we talking about. Are these the earlier version, say 2005? My, so called, warranty period ended a couple months back... ...and yes, I was a moron who save a couple $100 bucks and got a worthless dealer who would have jacked me around on this too. You get what you pay for...

The last one I did was a 2005, Kubota did it with no questions asked. The owner didn't even buy the tractor from us.

A friendly reminder to the uninitiated: when you have a leak in a hose, remember that for every amount of fluid it leaks out, it sucks in the same amount on the "return stroke" so if you decide that a small leak is cheaper to top off, that's a false economy. It will suck in dust and grit and ruin the hydraulics faster by circulating grime.

Deal with leaks promptly and thoroughly. It's not like a leak in a fuel tank where it just drips out. Hydraulic leaks both IN and OUT depending on where the leak is and what the load is.

Well I just placed my order for a replacement hose from Coleman Equipment 18.95 and 7.23 shipping.
I noticed today it is cracked but the pump is not cavitating..... "yet" so I figure I better get one on order and replace asap.
