Hydraulic Shower???

When was your last hydraulic oil shower?? I got mine Sunday when a front loader line popped on a backhoe without a cab.
 
About 10 years ago when a fitting let go and It was over in an instant. The shirt and winter coat I was wearing were trash as I couldn't seem to get the oil washed out. It took several showers to ge the goo out of my hair.
 
Fitting under the seat of a Cockshutt(Oliver) 1850. Soaked my backside and legs and instantly filled rubber boots with hot oil. Ow. A mad dance semi naked next to a busy highway.
 
I popped that whole top cover off of my 1550 last spring outside the shop with the planter hooked to it and raised up. Oil shot out of there and hit me right about in the midsection til the planter hit the ground.
 
Been a while ago but the last time it happened it was one of those times when all you could do was sit there and let it happen. Did it on my Ford 841 and one of the loader lines broke and shot hot oil all over me from the waist down
 
This same backhoe has a line that runs under the seats for the main hydraulic feed for the hoe. It blew about five years ago while I was digging some drain lines. That one soaked me pretty good and it was nice and hot since I had been digging for a while.
 
About a year ago when one of the lines going to the bade cylinders on our JD 440IC dozer blew out.
 
Didn't get a shower but had to lay in 60 litres of hyd. oil after the main hose from the pump to the control valve came apart on my Cat track loader. I have a hoe on the back and was digging when it happened. I couldn't move anything and would have ruined the expensive piston pump just by running it without oil. I had to lay under the machine to get the back 2 bolts for the belly pan out. I was there longer than normal because I was in soft ground and the belly pan wouldn't come down far enough to be slid back so it would fall off. I was soaked head to toe. Some idiot in the past used Cat couplers with non Cat hose and put a metal shim in the reusable fitting to take up the space. I didn't use the reusable couplings for the new hose. I don't want to have to repair that again. Dave
 
About 2 months ago. Pressure line to the joystick on JD2750 loader tractor let go about 30 ft from the barn. Didn't get much on me but the engine was covered in oil. Those closed center systems at 2250 psi can really skeet the oil.
 
The hyd control valve on a IH 300U blew the snap ring, the oil went straight up hit the ceiling and came down on me.
 
Some lines are hard to get at. On golf course machines like greensmowers, they recommend changing all the hoses every 5 years. The idiots that fixed my skid steer didn't tighten the hyd. oil filter enough and it blew oil all over the place, luckily not on me, but what a mess. Hoses made up when you buy them are better than hoses that have been sitting on a shelf for who knows how long because the hose deteriorates even on the shelf. Dave
