While my hydraulic hoses are relatively old, I do think there is a very outdoor different history.Might want to rethink your game plan. My little L175 spent most of its life outside before I bought it about 10 years ago. It then got to spend its time under a carport.
About 2 years ago went to fire it up and bam. Fluid shot up from a hose at the fel control valve, hit the ceiling and promptly came raining down on me and the tractor.
Needless to say that prompted a hose replacement program.
Your tractor apparently spent it's life in the hot dry Texas sun.
Mine apparently spent it's years before me, under a large spruce tree in Northern Maine.
Lots of cold cloudy days in Maine.
Sun rots rubber.
