Low pressure return line hose replacement

[MattA]

Both hose #38's (C14619) in my steering tower are leaking just enough to make a mess. Hoses #22 and #37 (C33556 and C33555) look ok. Filter #35 (C33445) has about 340 hours on it. Is there anything else I should take a look at while I'm replacing hoses in the steering tower?

The C14619 4" hoses are standard 3/4" single cloth braid with a 300 LB working pressure. $5.09 ea from Ingersoll, if you are going to purchase in a bulk length to save a buck, beware of Amazon sellers as there is a lot of 150 LB hose that looks the same. Just make sure what you're buying.

As far as any other items to look at, I'd say just go through all of the hose clamps and make sure they're snug. I prefer to change them out for the better clamps with the stainless liner since they don't cut into the hose as bad.

Thanks Bob. Hardly seems worth looking on Amazon. Do you know approximately when Ingersoll started adding the hydraulic reservoir sleeve inserts (C42540 and C33167)? My tractor was built in 2001.

I'd like to get C48415 battery tray on order. Does this come with install instructions or is it simply line it up and drill some holes?

Matt,

I honestly can't tell you exactly when the C33180 reservoir got the inserts, most problems that I saw were on the earlier 400 series tractors. I think it would be safe to assume that your 2001 production tractor is already updated.

There's never been any hardware or instructions with the C48415 battery tray, possibly I have a service/parts bulletin somewhere when it became available. I pretty much set it in place and drill the holes where it falls.
