My friend owns a Cat 277 and the othet day one of the hoses blew on the final drive I believe. There are 4 hoses coming from behind the squirrel cage. My questions are: Are these hoses OEM or can they be made at a hydraulic place? What is the procedure necessary to access and replace them? What specific tools are needed? I.e. size wrench needed for the fittings and for the cab bolts. He asked me to go up and remove it but I just wanted to make sure I had all necessary info and tools before I do this. I did some internet searches as well as forum searches and cannot uncover the information I need. I want to thank anyone in advance for any links or specifics they can give. The blown house would be on the left side if you are sitting in the machine. Thanks again.
