you can try your local shop that makes hoses, they maybe able to make them for you as well, , as long as you have a old one for them to try to copy!

yeah OEM can be costly, but on the positive side, metal hoses do last for decades if cares for!
doesn't help the wallet any, but could be worse!

I have a couple of auxiliary hard lines…new old stock.
If you look up the parts numbers that you need for the auxiliaries and get back to me I will verify them. They aren't handy at the moment.

Just depends on where you are and how to ship them.

over the years replaced many hardlines, tried the local shops no success they are never quite right and end up being a fight to fit them, on few occasions replaced with a flex line when one is not available, as for OEM, you can pay the extra and it fits or save a few dollars and spend a day fitting, just my 5 cents

Sorry, I don't have that one.

The tubes I have are the ones that attach to the lift arms.

What mrbb said…My local diesel shop duplicated mine from the old ones. Bent steel to replace the ones behind the engine. Huge savings vs bobcat.

A lot of the hard lines for these machines are no longer available so I just make my own. I just finished rebuilding a 909 backhoe attachment and all but 2 of the hardlines needed replacing. I bought a tubing bender and a flaring tool, some tubing, a handful of ferrules and B-nuts and started working. Made a few duds in the learning process but once I got the hang of it it went really well. The only problem, if you can call it that, is that the bender I bought doesn't bend in as tight a radius as the OEM tubes but so far that hasn't been an issue.
