Well I got a little crazy and banged into a branch. Got to replace my bucket cylinder hose and the two extendahoe curl hoses at the top of the dipper. My closest JD Const Equipment dealer is an hour+ away. Thankfully I was able to take them to the local JD farm equipment dealer to get some hoses made. They did a great job. The hoses are in tough shape and probably original. I'm sure I won't be done replacing hoses While I had the leaking bucket hose off, I saw the two small extendahoe hoses were in tough shape so I did those too. HOLY CRAP some of those hose ends are $40 ea. $360 into three hoses. Gotta watch out for those branches while wrangling rocks in the woods! I was trying to figure out how they "size" those flat faced o-ring ends. The JD guy said I had an 2-8s, 2-10's and 2-12's. I still don't know how to "measure" them. Apparently they have their own tread size too.
Have a great weekend guys.
