I assume this is what rusty sees in his nightmares.

Me too!

need to find a local place to make me some new high pressure lines.

I've had Nyco in Telford make me some custom Hydraulic lines when I needed them before. https://www.nycocorp.com/

Needed some odd ball Metric connections on each end, they didn't even bat a eye, just went and pulled out a box of the exact thing I needed.

Thanks, that's super helpful. I thought about doing the low pressure side myself, but these places usually do them so cheap it doesnt make sense. My pump and reservoir are AN and my steering box is NPT so that's fun too

IF you find an older NAPA store, especially in a rural area, they'll make hydraulic hoses. The good NAPAs used to run a full machine shop.

All the parts stores do around here.

I used to work in a ag shop, we wouldn't touch anything for steering or braking for automotive because the insurance for that was obscene... so some ag shops might balk if you say what it is for.

This is why i thought about just making mine for the low pressure side. Two hoses I can just say is for some goofy implement and no one would think twice about it. After I got the hang of it I kind of liked making the ptfe hoses too tbh

If I didn't have to deal with the old hoses actually making them is kind of fun.

Until the old hose rams steel braid in a guys hands and pukes oil all over my pants and boots.

Fuel pump and fan are wired in. Won't be able to get to it tonight, but tomorrow I'm hoping to get the starter done, make the connections to the battery, and then test fire it

All that time I wasted putting the speed sensor in, and it's just a very fancy machined kit from them

Going to drop the atlas off at a buddy's shop tomorrow hopefully so he can switch out the input shaft. It doesn't look too bad, but there's a bearing that needs to be pressed on
