[QUOTE="chesterspal, post: 129198, member: 23493"] [SIZE=5]I want to replace some, if not all, of the twelve hydraulic hoses on my M371. They are all standard 18" (3/8" female JIC x male NPT) flex hoses that can be had for around $22 each. The ones on there now appear to be the originals judging from the old, frayed braiding. At least one has a leak due to a cracked hose fitting. [ATTACH type="full" alt="image_2023-09-07_121347729.png"]4635[/ATTACH] My question has to do with the replacement process. 1) Can I expect to get air into the system and what is the best way to purge it? 2) Best to replace a bunch of them at the same time or will this make the air purging more difficult? 3) Should I use Teflon tape or some kind of goop on the treads? Thanks![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
