Hydraulic Hoses 101 - TMT

[@cordialcortex3841]

I ordered hydraulic lines from Messicks by Kubota part number. The fittings and length replaced perfectly. Shipped to my door. Only need to open hydrailic system once, no driving and waiting for hoses! Awesome product, and service! My local shop never got the length right, and the fittings did not fit in tight spaces like on backhoe valve spools. I have never owned or leased vehicles or equipment with as a high of a level of support and parts availability as I get from Kubota and Messicks. Hands down!

[@MessicksEquip]

Thank you!

[@woodsman123]

I really enjoy your channel chats, great succinct summaries, and tips! Thank you!

[@martinholloway7694]

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@eosjoe565]

Good info!! The plethora of fittings can be very over whelming if you don't know all the types and jargon. I usually take my old hoses or fittings to the local hydraulic shop, lay them on the counter, and tell them I need one of "these" that goes into one of "those" and they usually figure it out. :-)

[@91rss]

AN fittings are essentially JIC with the thread engagement a bit tighter on AN. cousin was an aircraft guy /farmer so worked with both

[@on4acres]

That was a nice Eaton Weatherhead setup there.

[@gateway8833]

I actually learned something today, thank you.

[@chuckquinn8026]

Learned a lot, thanks as always Neil...

[@Will-gn5of]

a video on different types of hydraulic cylinders and systems would be cool

[@destro513]

Glad to see mack from its always sunny finally quit the bar and got a real job

[@plumber77mjr]

Great video! I call JIC, flared, but thats my plumbing back-ground. Had to get a hose made the other day for an old Toyota Forklift and I think they said it was JIE, had to go to three different stores to find someone that had it and could make the hose, what a pain.

[@kylerayk]

You're correct. 37 degree JIC (Joint Industrial Council) flare is the nomenclature for those fittings. They can be used with steel tubing, a support ferrule and a nut.

[@1965ace]

Your videos are a great resource!

[@keithbebout5414]

I would like to have a parts cabinet like that, what brand is that?

[@MessicksEquip]

Vidmar

[@arthurfrilingos1860]

Wow' I was told there was a lot of variations in the hose connectors, and though I probably had seen the majority of them. Having you just show some of them has opened up my eyes to how much I don't actually know. "You don't know what, or how much you don't know!" Thank you!

[@rexb6478]

I enjoy learning from your perspective and the videos you make are great! Please keep doing them.

[@markproulx1472]

JIC fittings are where it’s at!

[@KountryCuz1]

Good learning Video here I had A hose Blow out on my Backhoe Sat !

[@btan4209]

Thank you very much , clear information that I was a bit fuzzy on before. I also can see why the price of hoses is what it is. That drawer cabinet must be worth thousands of dollars and it has to be refilled constantly .

[@briancharman2710]

Thanks Neil, I always learn something watching your videos. Keep up the good work !

[@Twindadx2_]

Hey Neil, another great video! Do you plan on doing a how to video for measuring and cutting pto shafts? Just picked up a L3901 and a woodland mills wood chipper. Want to make sure I'm measuring right before I cut. Thanks

[@MessicksEquip]

its on my list, but more likely we'd do it in the winter.

[@markcole6475]

What’s the typical max pressures for a single wall and double hoses ? What are the max pressures for a compact and sub compact tractors?

[@robertfakler8564]

You always have something interesting to say. Thanks.

[@brennandc]

Above what PSI is generally considered high pressure (needing two wire hose)?

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Nice interesting video. I'm from Ont. Canada. Small town called Elmira, my son was at thrift store and bought toy truck , 'Messicks' , heard from your friend OLF. I'm kinda surprized it got up in this part of world. Thanks for video, that is most confusing think, knowing right fittings. Thanks

[@TheNamesJT]

If someone comes in for a hose replacement how do you know what fittings, go on each end based on the hose? Do you just copy what they had previously if they bring the broken one in? and if someone just comes in with no old hose but knows the type of hose length for someone that doesn't know anything about fittings and ends how do you know what fittings ect go on each end if they don't have the hose that needs replaced.

[@MessicksEquip]

Guessing is about impossible, most people bring the old hose.

[@hennerschmidt5964]

Hi and thanks for that great vid. Can you tell what type of threads I going to find on the hydraulic bloc of my Kubota L2850D (1993), as the additonal ports a plugged and would like to run a valve- bloc. What kind of adaptor would you recommend? Converting to J.I.C. preferred in any case (tube or hose)? Regards Heinz

[@Lakesidearmorer]

Thanks ! I also learned a couple of things. Great info videos you are putting out.

[@soulutionhydroulique2208]

Hello chef im khalil from morocco ilike this work

[@pingpong9656]

I have a Sany - do you have any info on the type of fittings these Chinese manufacturers use?

[@ronorourke5357]

My grappler started to shoot out hydraulic oil during land clearing. Where do I start to troubleshoot shoot for a fix?

[@toddgeorge1569]

If there is a little tear in the first layer from a tree branch would you replace or just duck tape it and move on?? Not leaking at all On hydraulic line to grapple

[@MessicksEquip]

Tape and go

[@toddgeorge1569]

Thank you you are a wealth of information!!!

[@adamdnewman]

Another well thought out and informative video. Thank You, wish I was located close to you.

[@deeracres1188]

Well Curt in Parts and myself have been going round and round with the fun British standard pipe fittings on the balewagons you should expand your video on all the different types of fittings you’ve just scratched the surface of the many that can be found on equipment these days

[@semco72057]

That is nice information to know about the hydraulic hoses and connectors and since I have two tractors and have been fortunate not to have had bad problems with it, but need to know about that. So far I have only had to replace the fuel line on my older tractor as it leaked on me. I had to learn about hydraulics while in the Air Force and worked on a trailer we used to load weapons with.

[@Batti2323]

This was very helpful. Thanks!!

[@raychambers8198]

Very good video.. thanks man

[@randyhamilton6567]

Do people use plumbers pipe tape on the threads of the hydraulic hoses?

[@MessicksEquip]

No, do not use teflon tape.

[@danielchambers1958]

I wished I had seen this before installing my 3rd function valve last week . . .

[@theblacksunshineproject3597]

I always remove those and take it to my supply store to make shure I get an exact replacement

[@jameskennerly9748]

Thank you Sir!!

[@acderath]

Thanks! A maybe related question. Is there any major issue with connecting/disconnecting on a regular basis? I got a BX23s in the fall, and now in the spring between my landscaping work in the back yard and weekly mowing, I am removing and installing the FEL and BH pretty much every week. I worry about causing too much fatigue.

[@MessicksEquip]

I would not worry about it. Even if you do wear a coupler over time, these small ones are pretty inexpensive.

[@acderath]

Thanks. I've got a good dealer to call on when the time comes (Bought it from some company, Messicks? or something like that)

[@pitchblackscatpack8229]

THANK YOU!!

[@rclamb04]

Thank you!

[@murraythiessen8216]

I've enjoyed watching many of your videos. But you are giving very poor information here. There are probably a dozen different thread fitting standards in common use in ag equipment.

[@counterfit5]

How many of these Three Minute Thursday videos are actually three minutes?

[@MessicksEquip]

probably none. Its a snazzy name for a 'short' video.

[@pinrestore]

Now I have to check my couplers for boogers...

[@mechanic148]

My BX25D is just 3 years old and I have had to replace 4 hoses so far due to leaks. Not the best hoses at all. Not impressed

[@markproulx1472]

mechanic148: Where were the leaks? At the threads? At the swaging points?

[@mechanic148]

Mark Proulx no the hoses just sprung leaks in the rubber.

[@markproulx1472]

Get out! That’s weird.

[@RJ1999x]

mechanic148 manufacturers put the hoses out on bids, cheapest bid wins, you lose! John Deere hoses OEM are horrible

[@MichaelLeo]

first! bam!! thanks for the great videos! any chance you can talk about the backhoe options for a bx1850?

[@maraflores3896]

Am I the only female watching this lol
