Good Sources for small quantities of steel hydraulic tubing

[AndyF]

Who are good suppliers for small quantities of steel tubing for hydraulic hard lines? I need to make up some replacement 5/8" lines for a '70's vintage International Harvester backhoe. Additionally, is there any issue with bending the lines on a Hossfeld, or am I better off using a hand bender?

why not find a shop that specializes in this sort of thing and has the tools to cut, bend and flare the ends for fittings?

That's an option, unfortunately, my experience for one-offs as a customer who won't be doing much, if any, repeat business is that if I can even get a response, the price is typically a F you price. If you know of a good shop that likes doing one-offs for one time customers, let me know.

Any hydraulic supply shop will have steel tubing........if you are near the TVH forklift parts outlets,they have a better range of wall thicknesses.

Call Tubular Techniques in Columbus Ohio. They have the material and can bend it and flare it as well and will do one offs without screwing you. 614 52nine 40one thirty.

If you are going to do the work yourself, I believe McMaster-Carr carries hydraulic tubing by the foot.
