[QUOTE="FJRDarksider, post: 129202, member: 22866"] Based on the looks of those and your report of a leak, I would replace them all. Yes there will be air in the system but it will self purge once you start it and ensure the fluid level is topped up. When I did several hoses and filter change on my 853, I topped the reservoir up, ran it for about 15 seconds. Topped it up again and then slowly operated the hydraulics to purge remaining air, then re-check the level. I always pre-fill the filters before screwing them in. The fittings don't need Teflon tape or goop, the seal is achieved at the flares inside the fitting. If they leak, then they have either been over tightened too many times and the NPT has stretched, or there is a deformity or damage to the male or female flare (or both). Should be fine with new hoses. [/QUOTE]
