Hydraulic Parts, Tractor Supply or Local Hydraulic Shop

[knightgang]

The power beyond line on my FEL needs to be replaced and I need to add a quick connect coupling to it.

Additionally, the linkage in my valve body is crap and has been jerry rigged by a previous owner, so I am looking to plan a replacement of it soon and relocate it like a fender mount similar to newer tractors. I may have to extend line to do this.

From what I see, TSC has about everything I would need, even though I don't have a specific parts list identified yet. Or do you think I would be better served going to a local hydraulic shop?

Might want to check these guys out. They are very helpful if you have questions.

One other option is a business that makes custom hydraulic lines. They can gen up every replacement line you need for less than Kubota parts. Look in your area. If you take off all the lines you need replaced and take them in, often they will make them while you wait.

Most if not all of tough sh*t charlie's stock is cheap chinese imports. THat being said, if money is tight, you can survive on it. Around here, the best shop we have is coliflower, those guys know how to cut hose...

I use discount hydraulic hose Very quick, helpful and good prices. I give them an end-to-end length, size and end style and they get it out same day. Price is around half the local car parts stores.

TSC never seems to have the correct JIC fittings for Kubota's stuff. Always NPT, or too big or too little. Not to mention that 99% of the time they're grossly overpriced for their hoses.

Find a hydraulic shop. Also check with NAPA.

Don't know what tractor and FEL you have, but sometimes the dealers have plenty of extra P-BY hoses left over from back hoe installs. Guy I know that works at the local Kubota dealer has a stack of them, probably a couple hundred....mostly LA524/525/LA463 and some LA853/4 power beyond hoses. Had to replace one on my little MF tractor recently and he just happened to have one that fit perfectly. Free of charge. I may pick up a few spares if he'll let me have them.
