Could use some help. Hose to one of the loader cylinders burst today, need to replace. Where I am now:
Removed the hose
Plugged the holes at the cylinder and T-fitting with 3/8" plugs
Talked to the nice lady at the hose store. They'll make up a new hose while I wait.
A few questions:
Bleed air from the system or just put in the hose, add fluid and run it?
Thread tape or pipe dope or similar on the threads?
I know from experience with other repairs that it's likely the other hoses will follow this one's example. I'll see how this repair goes and set about replacing the other hoses one by one as time permits. Some of them look relatively new, but others appear to be on borrowed time.
If air needs to be let out of the system, I really don't know how to do that--so I'm hoping I can just replace the hose and be back in business. Thanks for any help with this.
