Replace oil cooler line, HST L 3901

[fried1765]

Thanks to all who replied. From what I can see,the upper clamps are the spring clip type,the only lower I can see has a hose clamp on it,it is the one that is cracked and leaking,the illustration clears a lot for me, will have to look tomorrow again at the front radiator/oil coolers,there are 2 of them. Would love to be able to fix this myself. SIS, (self inflicted stupidity) in not having WSM for my tractor.
Who should I buy WSM from,?. Tractor in stall in shed need to get it outside for operating room..
For sure will be replacing these hoses and making spare set, look preformed but if I can make straight hose work? Thanks again to all who replied and welcome any and all input on this operation.
Good luck to all on your projects!

I would fully expect Messick's to have those two hydraulic hoses in stock.

They do but only one set.

Are they TA240-21150 hoses?
If so, apparently Coleman's can get those in 2-5 days.

Ordered 2 sets today,1 was in stock,other set ordered from elsewhere 96.00 for both sets, 1 set by Wednesday, hopefully. Tech at Messicks had to work for this one,20 minutes on the phone really good conversation,he had to really look for the upper hose ,evidently their manuals may be a little bit confusing to him also. Great service. Last day at work Wednesday, retirement, birthday Thursday.
Thanks again for all of your help and reply.

Would you mind sharing the part numbers for the hoses?

Yes will post hose info when I get them . Messicks tech agreed about getting 2 sets because he had to get them from another dealer

Your L3901 is from 2015?
My L48 is from 2006

I have been trying to determine if I should "stock" the oil cooler hoses (different part # than yours).
Opinion that I seem to get here is, don't waste my money ($130 (shipped pair).

I have no way to estimate just how long the Kubota model specific pre-formed oil cooler hoses will be available.

Currently Messick's has two, Coleman has none (claims BO availability).
I am 82,..... but one of my sons might need 'em.

Looking at the 2 that I got they are specially formed, both Inlet and Return hoses,and the Return has different diameters at both ends. I turn 66 today and retired today and this hose job is happening tomorrow. Glad I bought 2 sets.
Good luck to all on your projects!!!

Done! 3 days,not all on the tractor
Best advice, Harbor Freight Hose Pliers, 11,99 for 3 sizes,absolutely would have been unable to slide hoses up on the 2 inlet,2 outlet fittings on the cooler and engine fittings. The reason for this is the hose clamps were done so tight they distorted the ends of the fittings,sloppy work from factory, tightened them so much that rubber from hose squished up between the slots that the screw uses to tighten the clamp with.
Something that anyone with this feature on an HST tractor should inspect. I am of the opinion that overtightening these hose clamps directly contributed to the hose failure on the the lower short hose. This hose is only 6 inch long with 3 preformed bends in it. The cracks on both ends of the hose were inside the hose clamps.
" Big Orange " is back in action. Next up is the 400 hr change all filters and fluids.
Thanks again to all who replied.
Good luck on all your projects!
