New to the forum, look forward to learning from all of you.
I acquired a 1999 L4310 GST with a loader and 550 hours on it this past week, and after unloading it off the trailer, one of the hydraulic hoses for the loader busted through a small pin hole right by the controls. Looks like the return hose that goes right to the front of the control box via a metal 90 degree fitting.
Previous owner said he replaced one already, so I guess they're just starting to rot. He always parked the tractor outside, so that's probably why. Not upset about it, as these things happen and it wasn't leaking a bit when I gave it a test run.
I am looking for a good place to order parts online. I also need a few smaller things, like a rear site glass replacement since this one is leaking, as well as a tail light lens. Probably going to pick up a service manual as well.If there's anything else I should get while I am purchasing parts please let me know. The previous owner changed the fluids around 50 hours ago, which he had records of, so I am not worried about that.
Any advice would be great. I hope to find a "rock auto" type online parts provider to save some cash. Couldn't find much right away when I searched the forum and google.
Thanks guys.

Problem hose has electric tape around it, tried to get it to quit spraying everywhere, had to use the tractor to finish unloading implements and moving things around.
