[Vwdiesel] OT - Hydraulic hose

[Val Christian]

Gang,

This is off topic, but at least it's diesel.

I have a 4" long hose, which connects two low pressure (suction)
hydraulic lines on my DIESEL tractor.  Unfortunately, the tractor is
getting old, and the material is degrading.  

When I try to get replacement line at a hydraulic supplier, 
all they have is stuff that is 1/2" thick, and probably 
stronger and stiffer than the metal lines I need to couple.

The dealer part is $40.

Can anyone direct me to suppliers of various types of flexible 
tubing suitable for hydraulic/diesel/whatever?

Thanks.

Val

ps: The "hose" is about 4" (call it 6" to be safe), and about 1 1/8" ID.
The OD is about 1 5/16.

It looks like radiator hose, but is obviously for hydraulic fluid.
