I'm guessing the year to be 1966 for my tractor and the old hoses are very hard and brittle. Does anyone know what size hoses were used on this loader, and a good place for replacements?

Ford used proprietary ends on the hoses on my 340 industrial tractor, that apparently aren't available anymore, even from a Ford dealer, so we had to add some fittings to get the new hoses to work. But they work just fine.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Those weird ends are not proprietary. They are a standard British BSP hose-ends that are not very common around here in the USA. You can order the new crimp-on ends from many places - but it's not worth the bother and expense. You can buy adapters for $4-$5 each that convert the British BSP ports on the loader over to standard tapered pipe thread and then use cheap, premade hoses. Those premade hoses are often 1/3 the price of a dealer-made hose and often have a higher PSI rating.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

I was hoping that someone that has experienced my particular situation could tell me exactly what inside diameter hoses were originally used. I found a supplier online that has available off the shelf hoses in std. lengths, but in different inside diameters. Living out in the boonies as I do, most things needed are shipped to us. I wanted to keep using the tractor until the new hoses arrived, but I may have no other choice than pulling an end off and looking inside. Again, thanks for the help.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

They will make new hoses for you. If the dealer is not extremely busy, you will be out of there in 15 to 20 minutes.   [Reply]   [No Email]
