I had a steel line blow that would have required me to remove the whole hyd. tank and most of the lines on my track loader to get it out. It had some tight bends that couldn't be made with a hose or standard fittings. What I did was cut the line with a small hacksaw to get it out. Then I had the complex bent piece cut off behind the rupture and reflared for JIC. I also had the other end on the steel line cut and reflared. I then used 2 pieces of hose with a 90 deg. fitting to join the 2 repaired steel lines together. I made the hose follow the same path that the steel line took. Unless it's really tight bends, a hyd. specialty shop should be able to make you up a new steel line. I had one made and although I had to use a threaded elbow to make it work, It only cost about $30 total for a 3/4" line. Cat wanted a totally ridiculous price for the new line with a silver soldered elbow. Maybe you could use part fittings and part hose to make a new line? A good hydraulic shop will have lots of different fittings. Dave

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
