One note on Hyd hoses.
They come is different pressure ratings.
a 2-wire hose is good for about 2500 psi,
a 3-wire hose is good for about 3500 psi,
and a 4-wire is good for 5000 psi.
The number of wires are like the belts in your tires.
90% of the time the ends are not reusable.
Some hose ends can be screwed on and off, most are crimped.
Caterpillar makes hoses with reusable ends, they can be reused several times before they are no longer any good. It takes a special machine to do it but it is worth the money if you have lots of hoses to deal with.
