Deere 2010 - Blown hose under cowling. Pls help identify.

Guys,

I'm in urgent need of help for my old 2010. We are right in the middle of needing to cut clover and the 2010 is down for the count.

I blew a hose and lost a bunch of hydraulic fluid from the lower right hand side of the console. Fluid was streaming out from right beside the brake pedals. Lost all power steering after this happened.

I took apart the cowling today and on the right side, I found a split in a hose that comes from the steering column and appears to drain back into the hydraulic sump.

See the pictures. The first shows the general location, note where my hand is. The next pics are close ups of the actual split in the hose.



Questions:

1. Can someone reference this hose in a parts diagram or where would I find info in the service manual?

2. What is the function of this hose? It appears to be some kind of return.

3. Biggest question for last: How does this hose attach/detach on the end where the leak is right where it goes back to the sump?

I can see no fitting, just a rubber "grommet". I was hoping for a standard coupling like the other end on the column has.

Many thanks guys. Really appreciate any and all help. Really need to fix this ASAP.

Sorry, now the rest of the photos. Screwdriver tip shows location of the split in hose.

Most of them lines, if not all of them lines are obsolete. If there happens to be a line that is still available you will not like the price.

Simple solution, take the line off and have a new one made. Been there, done that.

While it is open, you might want to inspect the other lines that go to the steering motor. Look and see if there are any battery acid on them that has erroded the pipe away. Also pay attention to where they get clamped to the frame.

Like I said, take them off and have new hydraulic hoses made.

FYI
That should be the pressure supply line (I'm pretty positive that it is). Pull the round cover below it and look inside. I should hook to the hydraulic pump. While the inspection cover is off, might as well give the throw out bearing a pump of grease.

You may also have to remove the front cover over the hydraulic pump. This cover is on the bottom of the clutch housing and is on a 45 degree angle.

They are under the Steering Gear/Drag link, not where you would expect to find them. /partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/83226/referrer/navigation/pgId/45386

Haymaker, thanks for the replies. I was hoping having one made would be an option.

Question: How does the lower end of the hose (see screwdriver tip in photos) attach? The top end was just a standard 9/16 fitting, but I cannot for the life of me see how the lower end attaches.

Is there a nut on it that is accessed from the round cover where the throwout access is?

Man, nothing is easy about this. I was SO hoping to find a split in one of the metal lines that would be easy to remove and have made...

Many thanks.

OK, I think what I'm seeing is that where my screwdriver tip is in the photo, that part is just a grommet/seal that the line actually passes through?

So I need to get into the inspection cover for the throwout bearing or into the hydraulic pump access to see the fitting on the lower end?

Many thanks.
