Is there a place in Fargo that makes or repairs steel hydraulic lines? I have 4 of them on my loader and the threads in the basics are stripped out. I need to have the flared ends cutting off, slip new nuts on, and re-flare them. Or if there is a tool that isn't besides expensive to flare it myself, I guess I could try to observe new basics. Only I recall the flare is doubled over if I'm not mistaken. scott nelsen

They brand hydraulic fittings that clench onto hydraulic lines kind of like a flare fitting for air or copper line.
Something like this should work. http://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/Tube_compression_fittings_s/1899.ht... bmatteson

That's what I did to get by, but it would be nice to continue the steel lines, they run along the inside or my loader arm. The line itself is in fine shape, the nuts are stripped out because the person that installed the loader fabricated hydraulic hoses to go from the steel lines to the tractor outlets and put pipe thread fittings on the hoses. They worked for many years till one started leaking last summertime. We tried to tighten the nut and wrecked the threads. That's when I discovered the wrong threads on the finish of the hose. I was hoping to find a place to become them stock-still, but if not, I'll either try the fittings on that website, or use hydraulic hose. easymoney

bmatteson - 3/31/2014 xv:32 Is there a place in Fargo that makes or repairs steel hydraulic lines? I have iv of them on my loader and the threads in the nuts are stripped out. I demand to take the flared ends cut off, slip new basics on, and re-flare them. Or if there is a tool that isn't also expensive to flare it myself, I approximate I could effort to find new nuts. Only I think the flare is doubled over if I'k not mistaken.

Replacing with hose works in some situations but is not the ideal solution every time, Hard steel lines have their identify as well and in many applications are much better and sometimes cheaper than hose

A quick google search for hydraulic repair in Fargo brings up this place.

Do a search on Ermeto compression fittings. NAPA Weatherhead sells a compression union to splice steel hydraulic lines and also a pinch fitting hose end. You could make a short hose to supplant the bad end and attach to your original line with-out having to remove it.

Braze new ends on them. I make hydraulic lines all the fourth dimension. If they are flared they are probably JIC, you can take a JIC fitting cutting off the swivel finish, braze it and its fixed. farmboy1492

didn't read every thing, but the flare on the end of the steel hydraulic line is a different caste then the doubble brake line flare. A good hose shop should exist able to brand the steel lines. bmatteson

Thanks for all the good suggestions. I was going to Fargo anyhow, so I Dakota Fluid Power put new nuts on and re-flare the ends. I'll keep the other suggestions in mind if the need arises.
