Message: [QUOTE="clydesdale, post: 1149715, member: 1623"] I thank everybody for their input and help with trying to decide on how to proceed with the hydraulic lines. Sorry for beating this to death, but I just don't want to switch off from the stock set up and have a problem, but also don't want to miss an opportunity to strengthen the reliability and I simply don't have the mechanical knowledge to make this decision without consulting more experienced folks. So, I have another clarifying question or two. 1. If I switch to the jic fittings, won't that eliminate all the o-rings in the quick fittings and therefore make the system a bit simpler? 2. Will there still be an o-rings where the jic fittings screw into the pump and into the heads? I realize the hoses will simply screw onto the fittings and that locktite will still be suggested at that junction. 3. Also, I think I read something on Bob Riley's Dieselsite page where the diameter of the line is important. So, I think I would want to just replace the line with the same size. Does anybody know what that size actually is? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
