I have a huge problem with my 2007 T2420 tractor, it’s pouring power steering fluid out onto the cab floor and I can't steer it at all. I thought I had fixed it by replacing the hydraulic motor under the steering column, but as soon as I started the tractor, fluid started gushing from somewhere underneath the cab again. And the big issue is that the lines and pipes for this part are listed as unavailable on the Messicks website. I am completely stuck trying to figure out the right way to replace those hydraulic lines because I can't even see the exact spot where the fluid is leaking from. Does anyone know the specific procedure for getting access to those lines for replacement or maybe know of a reliable hydraulic hose company that can custom make replacement lines for a Kioti T2420? I need to get this tractor working again as soon as possible. I'm losing money.
T2420 power steering leak is shutting me down

You should be able to get new hydraulic lines made without trouble. Both O'Reilly Auto Parts and Tractor Supply often carry hydraulic hoses. Since you have a New Holland tractor, I expect that one of those stores or a local repair shop will have exactly what you need. To help find a place, you can search online for "makes hydraulic hoses for tractors in my area" using a search engine like DuckDuckGo. I prefer DuckDuckGo because it does not track user data. I wish you the best of luck.

Take a look under the cab floor panels to find access. Depending on your model, you might have to remove some interior panels or tilt the cab forward. The leak is most likely coming from a fitting or coupling close to the steering motor.
If you need custom hydraulic lines, reach out to local hydraulic shops like Brennan Industries, Gates, or Parker distributors. They can create the lines you need if you bring in the old ones or give them the measurements and fitting types. It’s usually quicker and cheaper than waiting for OEM parts.
Also, make sure to stop using the tractor until it’s repaired. Continuing to run it risks causing damage to the steering system and pump by running them dry.
