Let me know when you get out here again if the tractor is quieter with the rubber hoses. Mine has a terrible hydraulic whine, and I was thinking about changing to hoses too.
Unexpected oil change!
Hi guys,
It is prime leaf collection season here at Golden Cove and as I was getting going with the 446 this morning I noticed an extreme amount of oil pumping out on my mower deck and lawn! You guessed it, a hydraulic pipe split...which worries me. Anyhow of to TSC I went to get some new hoses. So I find myself changin the oil in my hyrdaulic system again...at least I know it is clean!
:duh:

I rarely use anything on NPT fittings. They are tapered and designed for an interference fit. I have never had a leak just making sure they are tight, or over snug. I gave up long ago making sure things were "stupid tight", I got tired of replacing broken stuff.:fing20:
