2008 KX080-3 with T4 engine. 3980 hrs. The main supply lines coming off of the hydraulic pump to the valve assembly need replacing. There are two of them and they run under the cab next to the engine firewall and then up to valve body.
I do not see any kind of access for this area other than the edge panel running across the front and down the side of the machine. I can see most of the hose and do not see anything holding it but there are several hoses in this area.
I spoke to a dealer and he said cost would be around $1600 labor to change those hoses because they would have to raise cab.
Anybody else had to change these hoses? I am the third owner of the machine and the hoses had been rubbing against the frame enough that they are seeping fluid. I secured them when I bought the machine but it was too late.
I do not have a shop to be able to raise cab so any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
