[AT] Hydraulic Hose Crimper

[Lew Best]

I don't know; sounds interesting & I think I may know where I could use
one if I needed it.  The guy that has it says he can't buy the hose &
fittings as cheap as he can get hoses made?  Where can you get hose &
fittings for a reasonable price?  I'm gonna be needing some in the
future for an old backhoe I bought to try & get running (I know it has
one pretty big one leaking; all look terrible) & I've already bought 2
or 3 that the prices nearly scared me to death at a local hose shop.

Hello,

Does anybody crimp their own hydraulic hoses? I see that the hose and
fittings are inexpensive. When I take one of my bad hoses to the
hydraulic
store the prices run between $35 and $65 for around 3 feet. 

I would like to make my own hoses, provided getting into it is fairly
inexpensive. My dozer has burst 3 and one more is due to burst. My 3pt
Mconnell backhoe just burst one and I can see many more are ready.....
