B7300 oil leak after getting it angled with one rear wheel in the air

[Roll]

I believe the oil leak is in one of the hydraulic lines for the LA272 loader. One attaches to the hydraulic block "In" connection the other goes to the top face of the block but isn't marked. Both attach at the same location along the frame (but not the same connecter). Photos attached. I'm wondering if finding these is going to be a problem (suggestions or where to go for them welcome) and if there is a bleed process when lines are replaced or if the air is normally pumped out when the loader is used.

Photos: the first one shows where they are attached to connectors on the frame one has a green band (this is the primary leaking line) and the other has a yellow band, I thought it best to replace both but am open to suggestions. The other photos are of both lines as they come up from the frame to the hydraulic block for the loader. One line is longer I think but not by much. I estimate they are in the 36-42 inch length, maybe shorter.

I'm not very familiar with tractors but do know which end of the wrench to use. Thanks for any assistance.

doesn't sound like much of a problem so sure you will be able to handle easily.

On my end I would simply disconnect both hoses and take to my local hydraulic shop. They sell premade hoses for about $20 for a 40" hose with fixed ends or if something special / unique ends maybe swivle etc... they simply custom make to suit with exact ends you need.

should self bleed when reconnected.

Thanks. So no hidden issues it seems, just as simple as it looks. Thankyou Maple!

like tires, brakes, belts, batteries, etc... hoses are simple and fairly cheap maintenance items.

on a commercial farm on the bigger equipment I suspect we replace hoses every 5 years or so.

on the garden sized equipment we have stuff that's decades old around the farm but lower use and non critical applications so regular maintenance can be stretched out. Like yours, looks like owner had the replace when fails mindset. others due to importance of down time and fact that hoses carry such high pressures will do regular replacement schedules.

Its a personal choice the only when fails guys versus the regular maintenance guys.

just don't over tighten and strip fitting and blocks. Then fixes become more painful.

Also don’t use teflon tape on the threads. The threads may not be used for sealing in some types of connections but are if they are NPT.

IF needed, use a pipe thread sealant like a paste type.
