There are no o-rings, this is a flare conection...just like a brake line on a car. Bobcat may use o-rings here (I don't know) but this machine is a New Holland. The hose is the high pressure hose running from the gear pump at the front of the hydro pump to a steel pipe that continues on to a...

Well, I put the replacement on and it seems to leak worse than the original! I'm not 100% sure that it is the new hose leaking or if it is comming from somewhere else. It's a pretty tight spot to see and the leak is only occuring when the hydraulics are opperated...does not leak at idle, it just...

Holy mother of GOD! That fitting was TIGHT!!! I had to use a come-a-long on the end of a 12 inch cressent wrench to get it loose! I would have used a longer wrench, but there was no extra room for it. Anyways, I did get it off and I'm taking it to the local NAPA tomorrow morning to get a...

BTW, sorry for not mentioning this, my machine is an L785 new holland....I doubt it matters though for a hose?

I was actually thinking of going to the local napa just because they are close and cheaper, but wondering how well they hold up over a stock replacement hose? I don't use my machine for an income, it is just a weekend warrior.

I have a leak in one of the high pressure hoses comming from the pump to the control block for the boom and bucket cylinders. I'm wondering if a factory replacement hose is the only option or if I can take the hose to a hydrolic shop and have them either replace the hose and salvage the fittings...

Did you bend a rod? Just curious.

Oops. I read the manual wrong. It states that the maximum angle for ENGINE OPERATION on an intermittent basis is 26 degrees in any direction.

The opperators manual may tell you? I have an opperators manual for my new holland and it states that 26 degrees is the maximum safe working angle for any direction, forward, rearward and side to side. This is most likely different from one machine to another, but I just thought I'd mention that...

It has lots of power while turning and there are two hydrolic system filters. They were marked the last time they were serviced...about 3 years ago and about 250 hours ago. I'm new to the skid steer thing, so heres a dumb question....Is it time for new filters and fresh fluid? The hydro fluid...

Thanks for the reply:) I was not able to find any sites that sell parts yet, but I did look at "tractorbynet". It looks like a nice site and all, but they seem to focus more on tractors than skid steers.:( I guess it's going to take a few more years before skid steer sites become as abundant as...

I have two tilt cylinders on this machine. I'm assuming that tilt cylinders are the ones that opperate the bucket and not the boom? Because I do not know the technical names of the cylinders as per there location on the maching. But at any rate, there are two on the bucket and two on the boom.

Hello everyone, I just have a few questions about a NH L785 that I just purchased. 1, is there any online sites that sell skid steer parts such as pins, bushings, engine parts, and hydrolic system parts? 2, how do I find out for sure what year it is? I was told a 1991?. 3, Does anyone know of a...

I just found that if I refresh the page after entering the section, then my name comes back and the "NEW THREAD" icon reappears....as if it logs me back in? Is it a setting on my PC that I need to change perhaps? Appreciate you looking into it for me owensge, thanks

I am unable to post new threads in certain sections? Am I doing something wrong? "NEW THREAD" icon dissappers when I enter "skid steer" and "general repair". Have not checked all, but these two for sure. It's as if I am automatically logged out when I enter these two because my name goes away...
