Your older original hose is likely a heavier better made hose. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be having the idea that it is superb to what you can replace it with, and that it shouldn't be replaced because of that.
But, .... the truth is, you also have to minus off the life that it has already had when guessing if you think it'll outlast a replacement. When you factor that in, it really is a crap shoot. You really don't know how much life the old hose has left in it. Your just guessing/assuming that it would last longer if the end could be fixed, but you don't actually know that.
You could cut the end off, and have a new swivel put on there if hose is long enough, as mentioned. But just a heads up on that, people that make up hoses and such, don't like salvaging old hose. The old oily hose is messy to work with for one. And they really can't guarantee thier work (that the new end crimped onto an old hose won't leak, or the old hose is in good enough shape to do this). And wall thickness of old hose, might not even match up with the replacement fittings that they have.
Just have a new hose made up. There is other better places to try to save some money. Not leaking anymore of the high dollar hydraulic fluid for one. The new hose will even pay for itself over time. Don't believe me?? Go buy a couple of jugs of new hydraulic fluid instead of the hose. You'll decide pretty quick that your not throwing money away by replacing the entire hose.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
