Hydraulic Field Repair?

[KingBubbaTruck]

So, Got my first leak. Apparently one of the Aux hydraulic tubes on my 763g was routed in such a way that it got pinched between the arm and the body. I was using a backhoe attachment and felt a few drops. I thought it was odd that it wasn't the high pressure spray I was expecting, but still, a leak is a leak. I've got a replacement tube on order from the dealer, but I was wondering if it would be worthwhile investing in a few assorted flexible hoses and such so in the future, I could make a jury rigged repair and be back in business. At any rate, it will be good to go down to the dealer and pick up a full complement of filters. I have a feeling it will be the start of a long and profitable relationship (for the dealer)...

There are places that will custom make hydraulic hoses in a short period of time. There are so many hoses on a Bobcat to allow for if you wanted to carry a few "one size fits all" it might be difficult. There are some Bobcat brand filters on EBAY. The two hydraulic filters for my 843 are over $100 for the pair. NAPA was more.
