Great thanks. I checked another website and they showed only a 001 difference so I think we're good. The traxcavator has a couple of hoses that have about a 6" radius to negotiate so that will make replacing them easier

If you have the reservoir tank on the right like mine - don't make the same idiot mistake I made while lying underneath and disconnect the supply line - Yummy.

Heh, luckily no - the reservoir tank is directly on top of the main engine (which itself makes servicing diesel filters more difficult....)

be carefull the clamps and fittings are supposed to match the hose. i have seen what 100psi does to a hose when the clamp lets go and that was only air this is oil vaporised oil tends to ignite if near hot surfaces or any ignition source and it also make a bloody big mess.

i wouldnt risk it. for safety sake use the matching fittings with matching hose.
