Carbon Steel Hydraulic Tubing

[tonyAdrian]

Still working on resurrecting the 720. Ready to start reassembly. A few of the carbon steel hydraulic tubes are pitted beyond what I consider safe. I live in oilfield country and we have hydraulic shops seemingly on every corner. All sell tubing but unfortunately all I can get here is stainless steel tubing. And stainless steel tubing is not only expensive but requires a high price flaring tool. Does anyone know a source for plain old carbon steel hydraulic tubing sold in say five foot lengths? TIA, Tony

When I needed to replace some rusted out lines on mine I bought the tubing and nuts from McMaster Carr

Greatly appreciated. I'm not an Internet rookie but somehow could not find a source that shipped short lengths. Tony

Another source - less expensive and free shipping > $50.00
