Have been absent from this forum for a bit. Wondering if NH has redesigned or if someone else has come up with an after market replacement. The part are those 90 degree reinforced rubber hoses that attach the hydraulic fluid cooling radiator to the metal hoses. I've been getting ~150 to 250 hrs of run time. Not enjoying this small but routine replacement cost. Once they start bulging I worry and replace them.
Outside of this annoyance and NH mounting a lead acid battery in front of the radiator BabyBlueBalu(BBB) has been running fine. 10th birthday this coming October. Replaced the battery with a deep cycle marine gel or mat (don't remember which) after the 1st winter. No corrosive gas to hole your cooling system, takes the shake & bumps of daily use. Still running that big $ battery. Turns out worth the money.
