Hello, I am new to working on backhoes and to this forum. My friend bought a CAT 426 backhoe and I am helping him replace some very worn hydraulic lines. I am looking for good price hoses for him. The hose that is very bad is the left stabilizer hose. It is a 1/2 inch hose. I found a hose on the Surplus Center website and they have either JIC 8F Swivel or a JIC 10F Swivel fitting. The hoses seem very reasonably in price. I figure the 8 and 10 are the size in 1/16 inch increments. The backhoe is 4 hours away from us up at his mountain farmhouse. Does anyone know what size and type fittings are on the CAT 426 Backhoe?
Thanks.
Thanks.
