Dave, sounds like that "radiator-type hose" is your suction hose out of the reservior, which must be the frame of the loader. Try unscrewing that pipe plug again, and see if it's a dipstick. There shouldn't be any real pressure that could force hot fluid out at you, but just to be safe, check it after the tractor has sat for several hours, and move the controls all the way both ways with the engine off to relieve any pressure in the system. Look around the bottom of the frame for a drain plug. Standard hydraulic hoses will be fine, I doubt that system makes any more than 2000 psi. One trick I use when a hydraulic hose fitting starts rounding off with an open-ended wrench- cut the hose off with a hacksaw and use a six-point socket to remove the fitting. Make sure to always use a back-up wrench to hold the line or fitting that the fitting you are removing screws into, to avoid twisting things off. While you're at it, change the tractor's rear end/hydraulic system too. There's one drain plug underneath, and three drain plugs right in a row on one side of the middle of the tractor, right beneath the hydraulic valve block. There's a fill plug behind the seat, dump five gallons in there, there's another fill plug on the left side of the top of the trans case, right behind the clutch housing, fill that level full. Use Case-IH Hy-Tran or another name-brand hydraulic fluid.
