RJR49 121 #1 Posted January 1, 2013 So it's 1 hour before midnight and I am logged on to Red Sq? I have have a C-160 with a hydro leak. The hoses are $125.00 ea according to Toro. Anyone have a cheaper idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouty56 565 #2 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Sure......If you have a hydraulic shop close take the hose or hoses there and get some made. Another solution is to use surplus center online and get yourself pre-made hoses with female jic-4 swivel connections. Then you need the correct male jic-4 to ORB connections from another site I can't remember just now. I think you need ORB-5 for the cylinder lines and ORB-6 for the pump lines. Let me do some searching......unless someone beats me. Here's is a thread I did on an older model....if you read further in the thread you will see the mention of the C-160.... At least you will see the approximate costs and the websites to find the stuff..... Edited January 1, 2013 by Trouty56 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 39,085 #4 Posted January 1, 2013 You can try a Farm Equipment repair store as well. One near me made me one for a GT-14. They make the hose with 1/4" flare ends and then install the proper flare to o-ring adapter you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
