Mustang/OMC 330 hydraulic hose fittings

[jlmanatee]

I burst a lift cylinder hydraulic hose and I’m trying to identify the hose fittings. They appear to be JIC-type dash 8 swivel fittings but with 45 degree cone seats. The parts manual lists the hose assembly as # 170-19212. I found a site with this same part number listed for a Gehl for a reasonable price and I’m checking to see if they really have it in stock. If not I’ll be looking for fittings to make one up. Any clues about the fittings?

Take the old hose to a hydraulic hose company and they'll make it up to match what you bring. Check it carefully to see if maybe a slightly longer or short hose will serve in that location, just in case someone in the past changed it to use one they had laying around and that length was not ideal. Matching factory part numbers doesn't make it run any better if you pay twice the price. Sometimes it puts you ahead to change the other hose next to that one if it's the same age. Best of luck.
