Hydraulics 101

Yesterday we decided to take the Hydraulic hose off the backhoe and see if I could get a replacement. It's amazing how long things can take when you have no idea what you are doing, or the proper tools to do it. I was working on it for a couple of hours but finally got it removed.

It actually was easy to get a new one. Pete's repair in Morrisville actually has a special door for you to enter if you have an hydraulic hose that is leaking. Took them about 20 minutes to make it up.

I then spent another couple of hours trying to put it on but haven't managed to get it threaded through the network of metal qute yet. Caroline is going to go over and help me to see if 4 hands are better than two. Should be a lot of swearing.
