Would love some input from those of you who have experienced the hydraulic hose rupturing on the boom of the backhoe and what it entails to replace. It appears that I should lower the boom all the way to the ground, remove the higher of the 2 cylinder pins, retract the cylinder under power, and hopefully I can get to the hose fittings. I'm hoping I don't need to detach the boom from the main frame in order to get clearance. I will have the excavator here for lifting purposes or whatever is needed. Any input/shortcuts are much appreciated
