Good evening,
The main 1.5" hydraulic hose that goes from the implement pump to the distribution block on my CAT 248B has a wear spot and it has exposed the metal braid. The braid hasn't been damaged... yet. I'm curious your thoughts on wrapping it with an an old hydraulic hose and zip ties or a piece of tire or... suggestions?. Or do I just bring it into a hydraulic shop and have them make a new one? (CAT wants $345 for a new one).
The reason this happened is that there is a metal clamp that holds that hose down at the bottom of the belly... and that clamp failed. I've got a replacement clamp from CAT on order so it doesn't happen again.
Thanks,
Kyle
