finished EVERYTHING on my hydraulic steering and everything was working good, I was following directions fill cycle the wheels back and forth a few times to work the fluid in, then all the sudden power steering pump started SCREAMING... guess I burnt it up last run THEN I noticed this

that would be the supply line from the pump to the orbital valve... the brand new crimp has failed and I havent even driven it yet!
Guess I gotta take the hose back to who built it!

OH NO!

If there is a John Deere dealer around you take it there, they can make hydraulic hoses in the back of the parts department.
I used to them back in high school.

Some of the best connections for Hydraulics are the do it yourself. You can keep them forever they never leak and are reusable.
