1997 863 Non BOSS 2090 hrs, cable hand controls. Started having many leaks about 8 hours ago. Looks like most hoses are original.
Began with hose from cooler to hydrostat, line was pretty stiff began leaking between fitting and hose.
Replaced and leak free for a few operating hours. Next one hose on lift cyl then about an hour in opposite hose on other lift cyl. Replaced the others while i was at it.
Next was one hose on tilt cyl basically at startup (only hose that looked bad). About one hour of moving gravel fairly gently and i noticed some trails This time it was a hose from the hydro to filter.
Made it about two hours spreading some asphalt, now one the rubber hoses going to tilt hard line is leaking in rear.
Every leak has been at hose/fitting crimp.
HYD Filters are maybe 30 hrs old. Fluid has been flushed plenty. Machine sounds normal, no unusual or lack of bogging etc.
Could it be pressure relief issue? I did not check case drains yet. At startup, lift does not operate until control is cycled 3 or 4 times. After that its normal. Maybe BICS Issue?
