Blew My First Hyd Hose

[WFM]

After owning my L3800 since 2013. While bucketing snow today I blew a hydraulic hose. On the right hand side where the quick connect hoses go from the control box under the loader arm and curl back up. The hose had worn a chaff on the loader arm over time and started to spray fluid. I parked it and found the leak was in the red coded line and the blue coded line was half chaffed so I removed that too. I hope the lines are as simple as going to the parts store and not a fancy dealer part. Does anyone know the answer ?

I've seen hydraulic hoses of different sizes with the ends installed at feed stores

If you have a nearby hyd. repair shop, they'll have what you need without any explanation. If nothing nearby, a NAPA or other auto parts store may make up hyd. hoses. Take yours with you and have them match what you hand them for length and end connections.

And after you get your new hoses on and happy, put on some spiral wrap where the wear points are so the wrap gets eaten first.

My local NAPA stores makes them up often, couple weeks ago was in there and a farmer brought in his old hoses and they made him a set.

Same as above post. My 2009 B3200 chaffed through a line and I took it to my local NAPA store and they swagged up a new one for me.
If you have a line made up, be sure to blow or rinse it out good mainly because they use a metal saw to cut the hose to length and it leaves shavings in the line.

Hoses an't cheap. Replaced one chaffed leaking and one chaffed. $90. at the local auto part. The hose is Gates 3/8" 5000 psi, the factory hose was 3/8" 3000 psi.

Dad and I were running his pressure washer a few years ago. The hose between the pump and the water heater blew at the crimped fitting. Took it to NAPA and they were able to cut off the bad area of hose and just put a new fitting on.

I wouldn't do this on something like a loader though as I imagine they are as short as they can be already.

Last year I needed a 10' long 3/8" hose for my trencher backfill blade. So I decided I'd replace both of them. Took them off, and laid them out. Their identical and 10'-0 long. I could use one a tad shorter or longer because I could keep it out of the way.

Went to local auto parts stores (O'Rielly, NAPA) and they wanted $63 for one hose. I hesitated, came home and checked online. It was a hydraulic shop in Oregon (I think) could make both of them and send them to me for $60, including freight----TOTAL! Shop around.

Were they quoting the same PSI and same number of wires for the hose? It makes a huge difference in price if you aren’t getting the exact same hose.

FYI
I recently bought a couple small hoses for my rear blade from https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/ They have an on-line custom hose configurator if you know what you're looking for. Prices were reasonable, shipping a little pricey for me. Overall cost was considerably less than sourcing local.

Yes, exact same quality of hose.
