Fix hydraulic hose

[Axell]

Can a hose like this be fixed or do I have to buy a new one?

You will need to buy a new one. You likely will not find it at a dealer by part number. Take that one, as a sample, to a place (some auto parts stores, a hydraulic shop, an equipment dealer, etc.) that makes hoses, is one way to get one. If you can identify the ends, inside diameter, and length you may be able to buy a pre-made one from places like Surplus Center or Tractor Supply, is another way.

Needs to be replaced. Take it with you to a farm and home store or to say O'Reilly's auto parts and they will make you a new one

If it was long enough and the rest of the rubber was good, you could probably get somebody to cut it off and press a new end on.
They made a clamp on end for them too, but I haven't seen one of those on a shelf in a long time. That hose looks like it's a
little too far gone.

The rubber has gone bad. If you cut it off and put a new fitting on it chances are it wouldn't last a month. Might as well replace it.

Places I know of will not crimp a new end on an old hose. I have gotten a couple damaged fittings replaced at the place I get most of my hoses made as the hose could be identified as the brand they sell and have crimp dies for. The liability issue is cited as the reason they won't. Separating rubber or blown hose isn't worth messing with, get new.

Replace it. They make fittings that don't need to be crimped, but you need rubber and don't think you got enough.

Ok. Didnt think there was much chance of fixing it. But had to ask. I will search for a new one or old good one.
Thank you for your quick and good replies.

My local independent auto parts store makes hoses up, and they do it for way less than the chain hydraulics store.

Do not even consider finding an old one, you already have one of those you are looking to replace.

As I posted before: You will need to buy a new one. You likely will not find it at a dealer by part number. Take that one, as a sample, to a place (some auto parts stores, a hydraulic shop, an equipment dealer, etc.) that makes hoses, is one way to get one.

From reading your posts I get the impression you are concerned about where to find a replacement and what it is going to cost you.

I am basically in the middle of nowhere and there are at least 5 places within a half an hour of me that can make up a new hose like that in less than 5 minutes.

Ask or call around somebody nearby should be able to fix you up.

Take it off and bring it with you so they can match up the right hose and ends.

Cost wise on the high side say $10-$20 per end and $5-$10 a foot for the hose, most places I deal with crimp the ends on for free as they make their profit off the hose and ends.

So if your hose is 6 feet long it will probably cost you $50-$100 and you will be up and running today.

Finally got it off and cleaned. There is nothing written on it. On one end it has a female thread that fits on about 18mm male thread and on the other end a male thread of 18mm also and connects to a T joint. The hose is 21mm OD.

You posted you are in Scandinavia during a previous coolant discussion for your tractor, I believe. Places that make hoses are common here in the states. We can take a hose like that to one of those places and they match at fittings and hose, then assemble it. Do you have such facilities around you? If you don't know of any, ask at a hydraulic repair shop, parts store, truck shop, contractor, or equipment dealer. If they don't make hoses, they may be able to tell you a place that does. Hose size is normally based on the inside diameter and there are many different fittings in the world. Many people will offer ideas of what your hose is but without having it in hand to measure I don't think those will help you. Your best course of action is to find and take it to a place that deals in hose and fittings.
