Prepare Skid Steer & Replace Hydraulic Hose with String Trick

What happens here

To access the hydraulic lines, the presenter had to take apart the front assembly of the skid steer, which involved removing metal pieces. He explains that these parts were rusty and shabby, so he repainted them and ordered new decals to make them look brand new. He advises using an industrial spray paint, specifically Rust-Oleum Industrial, for durability. To simplify the hose replacement, he used a "string trick": tying a string to the old hydraulic hose before pulling it out. This string then acts as a guide to pull the new hose through the cramped internal spaces of the skid steer. He emphasizes making the string long enough to avoid losing it inside the machine.

Goal: Facilitate hydraulic hose replacement and improve the aesthetic of removed parts
