I just inherited a '78 L245DT with a 1200 Loader which has set unused for a number of years. The hydraulic hoses from the control valve to the metal lines on the loader have cracked and I'm not sure they're original. The part numbers shown in the manual are, of course, no longer any good. I have found one listing online which simply gives four different part numbers with no real description and another which indicates all four hoses are the same (3/8" x 30"). While I work on the rust to get the fittings broken apart, can anyone tell me the proper length and/or part number for the hoses? Many thanks.

Your best bet would be to tag/identify each line, then take them off and go to a hyd hose shop and use the old hoses as patterns for the new ones. Cheaper, easier, faster.

Just make sure you do a good job labeling the old ones for correct install of the new ones. Lots of bad things can happen if you don't.

Measure the old ones.

What they said is the right way to go . Besides you'll find getting hoses made at a hydraulic shop leaves you a good hunk of coin left for other worth while stuff .

Just updating this post for anyone else searching for the information in the future. I ended up buying 3/8" x 36" hoses (as per a different 1200 loader manual I found online) and they all worked fine. Per the parts manual I have for the loader, these were Kubota number 24456, 24457, 24458, and 24459. I noticed a few other hoses will also need replaced and will try to update those part numbers as I do them as well.
