wheelhorseman 3,197 #1 Posted May 22, 2016 My 1974 C-160 that I bought last year leaked lots of oil every time I would move the cylinder- between the hoses and cylinder I don't know which one leaked more - so I rebuilt the welded together hydraulic cylinder and I made new hydraulic hoses for it. I think this is now my favorite C-160 (I better not say that to loud the other C-160s will get jealous) Now it is dry as a bone and I know how you guys love pictures so here some pictures of it in action. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(If SAE5 where did you find them???) I found them in my shop the cylinder hoses are #5s and the hoses from the pump are #6s~ I am now offering hydraulic hoses for sale in the venders section Edited May 22, 2016 by wheelhorseman1000 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
