    Nylon protective sleeve

    I need to install 2 new hydraulic hoses on the thumb cylinder of my kx033 excavator. The hoses measure .80 in. dia. and I'm not sure how to size the nylon protective sleeve I'd like to install. I'm assuming a snug fit would be desirable as long as it slips over hose without too much effort...

    Vinyl seat repair

    I bought my kubota machine a few months ago. It's a 2020 model and the seat is in near new condition except for a 1/8" small hole where a cigarette or ember touched it. Am hoping to get some suggestions on what to use to keep it from getting bigger. Thanks all.
