I believe its an overflow line that is only supposed to have around 15 psi pressure at the most, but when I start it, it will blow the rubber line, which is cappable of 150 psi. The old line was metal, but deere sells a rebuild kit with two metal fittings and a rubber line.please help [Reply]   [No Email]

It is special with a higher psi rating than fuel line hose.I tried fuel line hose and it lasted about five months, the special Deere hose has been on over a year now. [Reply]  [No Email]

Is this line on top of the steering valve or running down the front to the side. Down the side would be a break line not the leak off. [Reply]  [No Email]
