Broken nipple on hydraulic line-mf65

Rkh · Feb 9, 2017

Can I use flexible hose on each end where broke off on end of frame holding hydraulic fluid & take coupler off & connect to nipple? Broke off when extended bucket to high.

Follow up questions: will the control that lowers & raises bucket, stop when it gets the upper limit when raising?

Would definitely use a flexible hose there. Make it about 4 inches longer than needed to allow enough room to not do that again.

I'd replumb it with all hoses. That pipe isn't made for hydraulics, it's made for water that is no more than 100psi. There is hard steel line made for hydraulics that can also be bent up for runs along the loader frame, etc., but anything going to the cylinders should be hose.
