FEL lines

[modeladay]

I need to replace 2 short lines on my FEL, this is all new to me. Anything special about removing the lines I should know.


Thanks
Dusty

Not much, except to ensure that the bucket & loader is dead flat & limp on the ground with absolutely no pressure in the lines (wiggle the joysticks in all direction with the engine off) it will be messy so have some absorbent pads, rags, etc.

.. and mark the origin and terminal of each hose .. I use masking tape and leave on the tractor fittings .. ya, it's dead obvious now but ..

Thanks people, I know I need to replace the lost fluid but is there any concern about air in the lines or will that take care of itself? Thanks again!

I just replaced some FEL lines on my tractor. The air line in the lines will take care of itself during the first operation. I just replaced 1 line at a time, so I did not get the lines mixed up.

Hydraulics are like men. They both burp air & carry on.

Make sure the new lines are clean internally. Don't presume because they are new there is nothing in there. A burr of rubber can cause havoc on your pump.
