Hello friends! I'm back again with more mechanical problems! It seems like I'm stuck and fixing this bus more than I'm traveling in it!!!
This time around it's my power steering pressure hose. It's been developing a leak overtime and now it's at the point where I'm using a quart of power steering fluid every time I start it to go anywhere...
Normally if this was a problem I would just go to a store, get the part and replace it, but I can't find it anywhere!!! With my old International (1976, 1603, 345 engine) it's near impossible to find anything but I'm able to supplement it by saying it is a scout ll with the same type of engine. But I guess they use a different power steering hose, as the connections were different when I tried that this time
The hose has 2 different numbers on them, I wasn't sure which was the part number, but both numbers have given me nothing online. I'll add pictures and would appreciate any help in finding the part online or advice for finding old-school parts in the Phoenix area.
I looked into repairing it and was quoted over $300 dollars which is a lot to pay for a hose!! If I have to I guess I can do it but that takes over half my money right now! If it's avoidable then I would love to avoid that
Thanks for your help and advice!
Explanation for the picture: the hose is leaking from the parts that connect to the rubber hose, I tried wrapping it in high tension silicone tape but that did nothing.
