Kubota L48 TLB, Ford 1920 FEL, Ford 8N, SCAG Liberty Z, Gravely Pro.
My L48 TLB lived the 1st 13 years of it's life outside.Yea, most on the FEL are original. I’m amazed they have lasted this long. The rubber outer coating has been cracked for years. If water gets in it rusts the braid, then after a while you get what I had today. I threw a old longer one I had on to finish what I was doing. But full replacement on the FEL will be in my future. I have been through the BH already.
It lives inside now, and I don't plan new hoses, until the first one goes.
Some slight cracking, but they all do still appear to be quite serviceable.
Replacing your BH hoses must have been quite difficult/frustrating.
