[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 87836, member: 3290"] Worse part is the labor. Since I am doing this myself, it is not so bad. Besides, after driving a desk all day, this effort is what I call therapy! As for hoses, I have a local hydraulic shop that I deal with. I dropped off the old hoses at 8:00AM, picked up the new ones after work at 5:00 PM. I had replaced a number of more accessible hoses already, so there were only 6 hoses involved. My machine has no BICS. Cost about $100. Likely will be out the door on this one for about $150, including oil and brake cleaner (for clean-up). Important info for all you 440b owners out there: The main drive belt idler was on it's way out too, and, of course, BC has changed the idler design and it is not interchangeable with the original design.. They would have you replace the entire idler mount to integrate their 'new' pulley design. There is no way that I can see of installing the new idler mount without pulling the engine/hydraulic pump assembly. I elected not to buy the new mounting arm; I modified the existing idler mount to take the new pulley, it involves flattening out the 2 bends in the idler arm and installing a 0.5“ longer bolt.
