Hydraulic Hose Kits

tonyAdrian · Sep 10, 2014

I was given a basket case 720 with a blown engine. Found a working engine and replaced the blown. Drove the machine 1/2 mile from the pasture to a work area. Everything worked. I would like to replace all of the hoses. So far have not found a source to simply order a kit that includes all of the hoses. If anyone knows of a source please post. Thank you

You're not going to find a kit of hoses. Bobcat will sell you all the hoses individually but I would just take the old ones somewhere that makes up hoses. Around here CARQUEST, Napa, Tractor Supply and the local feed store all make custom hoses.

Thank you - I was afraid of that. I'll probably measure all of the hoses and place a single order to SurplusCenter.com. Tony

A fell set of hoses will cost you a lot, so be prepared.

Well, I don't have much of a choice. and since the Bobcat was free and the engine was free ... I figure springing for the hoses is the least I can do. I've got a portable sawmill and moving by hand 3-1/2" thick slabs up to 60" wide and 14 feet long is losing its luster. I need a Bobcat more than anyone I know. Tony

I agree with old machinist, take them off ( they need to come off any way to change them). Take them to a local hose builder, that way they compare hose to hose when they make new ones, eliminating any errors ordering a hose, they usually can't be returned if you get the wrong one. It will cost less getting it locally with out any shipping. Your local businesses make out on your patronage and when you get home you can simply put the new hoses on. And the best part is you will know you have the correct hose because they make the new one to match the old one, a lot faster than waiting for shipping, and I'm cheap shipping and ordering mistakes cost time and money. Buy them local, just my $.02.

If the machine currently owes you nothing, it's good that you are going to re-hose it. It will cost a bit, but potentially outlast the work you have for it.
It will work wonders for your saw mill, you will be amazed at what other jobs you can put it to.
