[QUOTE="vinito, post: 93854, member: 12954"] So [I]that's[/I] where you've been Jon. I was looking forward to seeing yours with the new tires, but you went and got it stuck in the muck! I don't know if this is any help, but so far the cheapest place I've found pre-made hose assemblies for standard-ish lengths is Surplus Center. I'm sure there are better hoses out there, but I picked up a couple from them for my auxiliary and they seem fine.

It's hard to read reviews on anything and not get shy to blow the money. I got cold feet - maybe I'll get one later for just general household use. BUT I have a likely line on just getting the thing sand blasted for free so I'm going to try to work that out over the next couple days. I never knew that restoring a toy would involve so much politics, negotiation and generally being social. I'm a hermit at heart and don't really like being around people much so it's wearing me out. But I think the end result might be worth it. [/QUOTE]
