Loader hydraulic line--need quick help

[Dclerici1]

Fittings are British Standard Thread (BST). A good hydraulic shop will have them.

CK3510SE--sprung a leak. 5-paw Kioti dealer closed till Tuesday. Non-5-paw dealers seem to only stock filters, etc. Does anyone know if a Kubota (or other?) line can be used? Are these things fairly universal? Dumb question: after I change it, any bleeding needed? Or just top off hydraulic fluid?

Thanks!

A local jobber hydraulic shop or a good NAPA can make that little hose for you all day long. No. big. Deal.

Remove the hose and bring it into them.

After changing, just cycle the curl and it will self-bleed.

Thanks everyone for the advice! Pretty sure the leak is caused by--ironically--the helical wire guard cutting into the hose. Fittings are all tight.

Put a sock on the hose and toss the spiral guard. Had the same thing blow out one of my steering hoses on my NX series that was tight enough that I had to drop off my loader to go after it a couple of years ago.

You can get premade hydraulic line at surpluscenter.com
Also, you might want to get into the Parker online catalog. I use it to look up part numbers, then google that and I often find the parts online cheap. Having a few extra hydraulic fittings on hand can save your weekend.

True story. I keep an entire extra set of lines for my grapple and snow plow. Since I made my own third function, many of those lines are hard lines.
