Nothing brings work to a halt faster than a blown hydraulic hose spraying oil everywhere, and finding the right replacement for your David Brown 990 can mean a trip to town you don’t have time for. This complete hose kit includes all the essential hydraulic hoses your 990 needs, properly sized with correct fittings, so you can replace worn lines before they fail or fix that leak without endless parts counter visits trying to match hose sizes.
What You’re Getting
- Complete kit includes all major hydraulic hoses for the 990 system
- Correct length hoses with proper end fittings – no cutting or crimping needed
- High-pressure rated hoses handle full system pressure with safety margin
- Steel-braided reinforcement prevents ballooning and premature failure
- Weather-resistant outer covering stands up to sun, oil, and abrasion
Built for Real Farm Work
The David Brown 990 has earned its reputation as a reliable workhorse on small to medium farms. These tractors from the 1960s and 70s are still earning their keep running hay equipment, powering feed mixers, or handling loader work around the farmyard. The hydraulic system powers everything from your three-point hitch to the power steering, and when hoses start aging out, they all seem to go at once.
Made to Last
These aren’t generic hoses with adapters to make them work – they’re manufactured to match your David Brown’s specifications. The pressure ratings exceed original specs, accounting for older pumps that might spike pressure. The steel wire reinforcement is wrapped properly, providing consistent strength throughout the hose length, while end fittings are properly crimped at the factory.
Good to Know
While you might only have one leaking hose now, consider replacing all the hoses at once. If one original hose has failed after 40+ years, the others aren’t far behind. When installing, take a smartphone photo of each hose location before removal, clean all connection points thoroughly, and use new O-rings if yours are flattened or cracked. Don’t over-tighten fittings – snug plus a quarter turn is usually plenty.
