The only reason that a smaller 3/8" hose was used is that's what they had. 1/2" is the norm and both were 1/2" originally. If you have a parts book, it'll tell you exactly what size of hoses to use and the overall length of them. Those push in/pull out connectors are the best. I have those on my 706. Conventional pioneer females also work better in the hose holders.

As neglected as this tractor was, I knew the guy was rigging it incorrectly

[@nathanalmond8280]

Nice looking job on your tractor. Nice looking tractor. Like I have said before I need to get mine finished up with the restoration.

[@FarmallFanatic]

It's the right tractor to restore

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Looks great Gino never know if things come apart wise decision. Have a great day enjoyed your video

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Looks good FF, nice and neat.

[@brianlubeck4184]

There are 2 possibilities i can think of with 2 different size hoses, A the former owner simply installed what he happened to have on hand, or they wanted a way to tell which hose was which when the connected to the cylinder on the equipment they were using, so they installed a different size. I like those double acting couplers too, far more convenient than having to work the lever to depressurize hose lines to disconnect or connect everything.

[@FarmallFanatic]

I'll never have anything else... And yes I completely agree with you

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Gino :) one hose low pressure and other high pressure to or sometimes say inlet is low also high is return one !

[@FarmallFanatic]

Yeah but there's really no need to have different sizes

[@AndrewHCann]

@@FarmallFanatic agree 100 :% Gino :) !

[@headglitch7003]

The 3/8 was being pumped so it worked fine for the small cylinder. The return line was pressurized by gravity acting on the equipment. The 1/2 line was able to purge the cylinder volume quicker for faster implement drop. Line size has nothing to do with pressure, that is delivered by the pump. Line size has to do with flow. To increase non-pressure flow you increase the line size to speed drop or decrease line size to slow the drop.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Good points

[@mikeseegmiller2696]

Good job on video red power keep up good work on red power

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

Nice job. Those look a lot better man. Beats pulling a hose apart, that's for sure.

A very neat job.

[@truenorthangler]

Great job going through the hydraulic hoses replacement. Are those hoses specifically made for tractor use or general hydraulic hose? Now that everything works great, you have a flat tire. 😂. Great tutorial, Farmall. Stay cool out there, it’s a hot one. BOOM!

[@FarmallFanatic]

These are made specifically for tractor hydraulics but i'm sure you could use them elsewhere

[@jameschainey2343]

The larger hose is the retractor hose, because more oil is returning to the tank. The size of the hose means, less oil in the smaller hose where the larger hose will give you more oil flow. The pressure comes from restrictions like raising a pice of equipment

[@FarmallFanatic]

Yeah, that's what I figured out but I want both hoses matching and if it doesn't work... Then I will add a larger one.

[@mmielcarek3046]

Retractor? Return line? That is usually larger to let the weight of the implement be released quicker. It did make it easier to know which hose went where. Pull the lift lever back and it raises up push forward it goes down. I didn't notice if your couplers were color marked.

[@georgepruitt637]

It's ibvious you are enjoying what you're doing and for one I enjoy watching the improvements you make. Still my go to youtube page. Half Century of Progress is inching closer. Got a steam thresher show coming up in another week here in Ohio. Should help bridge the gap until HCOP.

[@FarmallFanatic]

They sure seem to add up

[@Mad_Farmer912]

I've been told the flat tips have a better seal and don't leak. Also have heard the flat tips have a higher flow. Another thing I've heard on some equipment it makes a difference on the top used depending if the system is open or closed center.

[@FarmallFanatic]

These work great

[@mce-jc2mw]

Looks awesome...id like to change my hoses...they make me nervous how cracked they are and how hot they get...im new to all of this and not sure if thats normal

[@FarmallFanatic]

Its normal hydraulic fluid gets extremely hot

[@hturbo1007]

So far that tractor is really shaping up nicely. Although I have a feeling that the hydraulic hose holder you have for the SMTA won't fit. The battery box will be in the way. My brother tried one on his SMTA ,and he said he couldn't get it to work. If yours fits, let us know how it fits, because I'd like to get one for mine.

[@FarmallFanatic]

This one in particular i'm going to cut and drill it will work

[@vonRow]

I like those fittings. How well do they work with the tractor running? And I missed where ya got them from. I'd like to do the same kind of upgrade on my Farmalls.

[@FarmallFanatic]

You mean like out in the field or just running in general

Really great job putting all that together ! I need to run more lines back to mine I got extra ports. I got to fix the rear axle seal It's starting to leak pretty bad . Have you ever had to fix one ? Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !

Yes they are not difficult to do but you do need to remove a wheel

How many pumps of grease do you put in those axles before you go out

if the pump puts out X volume, of oil, then a small hose will have more pressure, and a larger hose will have lower pressure

Correct
