Back from Thailand, dealing with 12 hour jet lag so not sleeping at all really.
Went to TSC for hydraulic hoses. They were all wrong, where hte OD matched, the ID did not. They didn't have everything in stock and it would be 2 weeks to order. They did have me driving for hours between stores though, before I discovered the ID of the hoses were to small.
Eventually found a hydraulic shop and took my 4 sample hoses in. 15 minutes and $535 later, I had 10 new hoses, rated at 4500+psi. More than I wanted to spend, and way higher rating than I needed, but at least it's done.
Also TSC has 5gal hydraulic fluid on sale for $25, normally $30. Picked up 20gal of that as well.
The old, and many original hoses:
The new, and much more flexible hoses that will be going on:
I'm trying to find a good way to clean everything, while I have it apart.
