I just had to post this picture that I have seen so many times. I bet I've changed almost all the hoses on the old girl after this one. I've done it so many times, I can split the backhoe from the main tractor in 15 minutes.

Next time you have it apart, why not replace all of the ones that you haven't replaced so far, not just the one that's leaking now?
 
I had a leaking hose on my 755 TLB. It went from the valve under the operator station to the boom. There are six hoses crowded in the backhoe swivel joint. Real tight quarters. I was going to change all six as a couple of them you could see the braiding. But it was such a PITA to get the leaking one out I decided "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I expect I'll be doing the other ones in a year or two.
