Hello; I have a 1981 632 Bobcat. The steel hyd. line for the lift arms leaks where the line hooks up to valve body. It looks like you would have to pull the engine to get this line out, as it runs around the front of the engine. Has any one ever used hyd. hose instead? This sure would make this job a lot more fun! Thanks Bob

Wayne Thanks much for the reply! I finally got it done, and it works great. Now I find fluid coming under the pump, and the bottom of the pump seems to be clean. There is some hoses running under there also. Maybe I'll luck out and it's just a hose leaking! Thanks again Bob

I've had to use hose in place of steel lines many times over the years and have never had any problems. Just make sure that when you get the line made up you get one with at least the same ID as the origional tube since tube size and hose size don't always coincide and you don't want to constrict the flow woth a smaller ID. You also have to remember that the hose with the same ID is gonna be bigger on the OD (plus even more on the ends for the fittings) and isn't gonna be able to turn as sharp as the tube does so there may be clearance problems to deal with. You also want to make sure the hose is secured so it doesn't move around as the fluid moves through it, as well as protected anywhere it runs around something that can wear into the cover and cause it to rupture. Good luck.
