be sure to check your hydraulic fluid level after replacement and bleed any air from the system. On most Kubotas you can do this by just moving the hydraulics through the full range of motion a few times.

(B2650/LA534 loader) Why the original flare nuts (on both curl and boom hoses) are 17.5 mm, I have no idea! Lightly grinding an old 17mm wrench out a bit works on them.
Thankfully, flare nuts on the new hoses are 3/4". These boom hoses are in tight spots, and a box end tubing wrench is helpful to install them. Remove the single bolt and rectangular pipe retainer below them to ease the steel pipes out to get wrench clearance.
Hope that's helpful to someone!
