I need urgently to replace a couple hoses on my 240's loader (has an external pump in front of the grill). Don't know nuthin' about hydraulics but my local tractor place says bring the old hoses in and they will make new ones up on the spot. Questions: (1) How should I remove the old ones without getting a geyser of fluid in the face, or will that happen with the engine off? (2) once the new ones are installed, does the system have to be bled and if so, how is this normally done? Thanks, gentlemen!

Run the tractor and set the bucket on the ground.
Shut the engine off & move the hydraulic controls in all directions to release any residual pressure.
When loosening the first fitting, drape a shop towel or grease rag over the fitting as you loosen it. Have a container under where you are working to catch the drips.
After re-assembly, just operate the loader through full range of motion and the air bubbles should work their way out of the hoses.
Re-check the fluid level, adding to compensate for lost fluid.

To avoid getting sprayed by high-pressure hydraulic fluid when removing the old hoses, lower the loader to the ground, shut the engine off, move the control valve levers for the loader all the way one direction, then all the way the other direction. This dumps the high-pressure fluid back to the reservior. After replacing the hoses, you will need to refill the hoses/cylinders. To do this, first make sure that your reservior is full to the mark on the dipstick or check plug or what have you. Now start the engine and put the control valve on demand to raise the loader. It may take a few seconds for anything to happen. Raise the loader all the way up and lower it all the way down several times. If you have a hydraulic-tilt bucket, tilt the bucket all of the way down and all of the way back several times. Now lower the loader to the ground, shut off the engine, and top off your hydraulic fluid.
