My 202 has had the last of my planned repairs - replacing the shifter. Other than a recent power steering cylinder issue, it has faithfully got my work done for several months.
I keep looking at the backhoe and wishing it were functional and then anxiety sets in at the thought of the effort, time and money likely needed to make it work. I am going to start with replacing all the hoses and making the changes nessary to hydrauliclly hook it up to the tractor. Many of the hydraulic lines are a combination of tube and hose. I know I will never find afforable replacements on the shelf.
What is the process to take an hose/tube assembly apart so that the hose can be replaced? If possible, winding up with male or female fittings on the tubes would make future line repairs simple. Should I consider replacing all lines with 100% rubber?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Don
