T190 Hydraulic line replacement

[dw15841]

My t190 blew a hydraulic hose on the main line to the left drive motor. I got the line off the pump but can't figure out how to get it off the motor. Do I have to take the tracks off? The plate that guards the lines, I can't get it off without taking the track off I think. Trying to avoid calling bobcat out. Any help would be appreciated.

All ears here being a fellow T190 owner.

I hope you never bust that line. All of them have been a pain but that one is nearly impossible to get to.

I recently spent a solid half day pulling a failed alternator through the hydraulic jungle.

Early in my ownership I had a track flop off out in the woods. Getting it back on was not that big of a deal. It was a bit messy releasing all that grease, but a fairly simple procedure overall. Now that I've got a DeWalt 20v grease gun, next one will go a bit easier.

Well yes you do have to take the track off as that f**k'n guard plate covering line wont move out the way with track on… honestly once tracks off its strait forward. Beings this is my second same line on left side, upper hose, blowing right at the fitting on pump side… id say its a engineering F up lol

or actually planned to frustrate folks into taking it to a dealer where they can make more $$ of you doing the repair
lots of things are made this way with intention of making you NOT want to, or be able to work on things yourself,
they ain't designing things to make your life easier, or your wallet fatter, HAHA!

Fellow T190 owner also. I had the same thing happen also with the forks buried in a pile of manure. You will lose a lot of hydraulic fluid guickly when a hose that size ruptures. Yes the track and the sprocket has to be removed to access the hose.. I managed to lift the track high enough with another loader tractor to gain access to the cover plate and the hose.

Maybe Call out Bobcat or an IR repair tech, i couldn't see it viable most of the time to drag it off site, likely with a load of dirt, onto a flatbed cause when that blows nothing works lol. Never seem to blow near the road all clean and empty. Usually in a muddy field hundreds of yards in with a full bucket love that

They almost always break down while working them. That is the nature of the business.

Also, I have NEVER heard of such a thing as engineering a machine so we, the owners, could not work on them.

Something like having to almost completely pull an engine to reach a spark plug, or hooking a unit up to some newfangled contraption so it could tell you what was wrong with it, or having to reprogram a machines computer at the dealer if the battery goes dead would never be done intentionally as a revenue enhancement method in the good old US of A...would it??
