Default Blew a hydro hose - 1450/1650

Man when it rains it pours. I got my new lift handle on today, got everything put back together and noticed I was pouring out hydro fluid. It's coming from one of the hoses. But it looks like the hoses are routed wrong, or they are connected to the wrong ports.

Please take a look at the pics and let me know if you can see what cause the hose to leak. It looks like the hose was getting pushed up against the valve support plate over time. I can't believe that this just happened in the 8 to 10 times that i have moved the lift arm since the engine swap.

From my parts drawing it looks like the the top hose should be attached to the forward part of the cylinder assembly, and the bottom hose should be attached to the rear port on the cylinder assembly. Mine appear to be reversed from a previous owner.

Let me know what you guys think, and how big of a pain can I anticipate this repair being?





Which part number hose will I need?

Get the hose made at a parts store or equiptment dealer. I would get it slightly longer, and have them slide a piece of heater hose over it before they crimp the ends on to protect it where it rubbed.

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.

It appears as though the upper hose should have been routed below the lower hose where they intersect. Right now being on top it is forcing it to come in contact with the plate that has worn a hole in it.

You could also get some more clearance by sliding the Spool Valve Mounting Plate up the Steering Column a bit.

Hydro hoses will move and flex every time they are pressurized, so it important to route them so they don't rub.

Thanks for the help everyone. I am out of town on business, but I called my local RIdge and Kramer Auto parts store in Kalamazoo and they can make the hoses for me if they have the ends I need. SO...I have my fingers crossed. I'll keep everyone informed.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
