I am not sure on price but, TRI State equipment has some hoses in stock and makes custom hoses. They are located on 13th north of Rawson on the east side of the street.

This is my first thought. I worked in the Grunau tool room/repair shop years ago and this is where we went for hydraulic hose needs. I brought in many old busted hoses and walked out with a new identical one.....

Are they all one standard thread? If so I can probably just go to farm and fleet and get x length

Northern tool, $12. That is very similar to the style I just bought, 1/8 NPT male both ends, Northern has several to choose from.

Whats the procedure to fill/bleed oil? Couple ports on the pump I assume?

Return to tank hydraulics, just run left/right and up/down until pump stops squealing.
Keep the body of the plow unit full with ram down, dont overfill so motor stays dry.

ATF will work but on the coldest days moisture will collect on bottom bye pickup screen. Plow oil or 5606 type of fluid is best, synthetic trans fluid is ideal as well, dont worry about mixxing fluids, they will turn into some odd colored soup that will work fine.

I looked at picks again, Meyer plow maybe? Blue fluid is Western brand and Green will be Meyer if you find fluid at FF or Northern.

Its a meyer/western combo. Fluid leaking out looks reddish, probably atf

FnF has iso 100, 68, 46, or 32 hydraulic oil. Or universal tractor trans/hydraulic fluid. Which one?
