Case 856 oil hose

[Robw54]

spotted this yesterday in case 856xl. Is the just standard oil hose or a specific case part?

Is the pipe cracked or is it just the paint on it that has cracked?

it is only held on with jubilee clips, so it is low pressure and can't be any sort of special hose

Ours looked like that with the paint cracked.
As said it's low pressure. Think it's a return from oil cooler but can't just picture where it goes

Over top of engine (front), jubilee onto two metal pipes. Looks badly cracked but not sure how bad - no leaks (yet!). Didn't want to mess with it too much in case it started leaking.

I'm 99% certain the pipe is sound and it's just the paint that has cracked. It will be the original pipe and been painted with the rest of the engine.
Don't mind popping over if you want me to have a look

Thanks for the offer. Will have another gander and see what I think. First first impression was heck hows that not leaking. Might well be paint/cracked.

It was having a bit of TLC yesterday. Great machines, barely a spanner on it on 7 years been with us.

As others have said it's just the paint on the hose that has cracked, got similar looking hoses on our 844.
