A blown hydraulic hose stops the whole machine, and the last thing you want is to wait days for a replacement. When you search hydraulic hose repair near me, Ames Hydraulics is the shop that makes the new hose same-day, usually while you wait, at 210 Freel Dr in Ames. Any size, any fitting, any pressure — bring us the blown hose or the whole machine and we’ll build the exact assembly and get you running again.
Hoses Made While You Wait
We keep hose, fittings, and adapters in stock and crimp assemblies on site, so most hydraulic hose repair is done the same day you walk in. Bring the old hose — or the machine if you can’t get the hose off — and we match the length, the ends, and the pressure rating exactly. No waiting on a parts order, no guessing on fittings.
Any Hose, Any Fitting
- 1-wire, 2-wire, 4- and 6-spiral high-pressure hydraulic hose
- JIC, ORFS, NPT, ORB, pipe, and metric fittings — crimped to spec
- Field-length assemblies matched to your old hose exactly
- Suction and return lines, and low-pressure hose too
- Adapters and fittings to make a mismatched connection work
For Every Machine You Run
Tractors, skid steers, excavators, loaders, dump trucks, plows, and the equipment in between — if it runs hydraulics, it runs on hoses, and hoses blow at the worst time. We build replacement assemblies for all of it. Because we’re a full hydraulic shop, if the blown hose turns out to be a symptom of a bigger problem — a failing pump, a bad cylinder, contaminated oil — we can find and fix that too instead of just sending you off with a new hose.
Why “Near Me” Should Mean Ames Hydraulics
More people call us about hydraulics than anyone else around Ames, and hose work is the front door to that. When you search hydraulic hose repair near me, you want it made right and made now — the correct hose, crimped and pressure-rated, not a hardware-store patch that blows again next week. That’s what we do all day.
Free Pickup Within 60 Miles
If the machine can’t come to us, we come to it — pickup and delivery are free within 60 miles of Ames. Text a photo of the blown hose and its fittings to 515-292-2599 and we’ll have the assembly ready when you arrive, or bring the machine in and we’ll build it on the spot.
Don’t Gamble on a Patch
A hydraulic hose runs at thousands of PSI, and a hardware-store patch or the wrong fitting is a blowout waiting to happen — usually spraying hot oil right where someone is standing. Real hydraulic hose repair near me means an assembly built to the correct hose rating with crimped, matched fittings, tested and right the first time. That is the difference between a hose that lasts the life of the machine and one you are replacing again next week.
Bring the Hose or Bring the Machine
Two easy ways to get a hydraulic hose repair done: pull the blown hose and bring it in and we match it exactly, or bring the whole machine and we pull it, build the new one, and put it back on. Either way you leave with a working machine the same day in most cases. If you are stuck in the field within 60 miles, call us — pickup is free and we would rather come to you than have you risk running a failing line.
Keep a Spare Before It Blows
The smartest customers bring in their high-wear hoses before harvest or before a big job and have spares made. A few dollars in spare hydraulic hose assemblies on the shelf beats a dead machine at the worst possible moment. Tell us the machine and we will build the ones that always seem to go first.
More Than a Hose Counter
Plenty of places will crimp you a hose, but a true hydraulic hose repair shop also knows what a blown line is telling you. Repeated failures in the same spot mean a routing, heat, or pressure problem worth fixing so you stop replacing the same hose. Because hydraulics are what we do most, when you come in for hydraulic hose repair near me you also get a shop that can chase down the real cause if the hose is just the symptom — pumps, valves, cylinders, and power units all under one roof.

Same-Day Hydraulic Hose Repair in Ames, Iowa
A blown hydraulic hose is one of those repairs where every hour of downtime costs money. That’s why hydraulic hose repair near me is one of our fastest-turn services. Bring the machine or the failed hose in, and in most cases we make and install a fresh assembly the same day. Common hose sizes and fittings live on our shelf, so we’re not waiting on supplier orders.
How Much Does Hydraulic Hose Repair Cost?
Costs depend on hose diameter, length, and fitting type. A typical replacement hose in the 1/4-inch to 3/4-inch range runs $50-$150 installed. Larger diameter hoses (1-inch and up) and specialty fittings — ORFS, JIC, SAE flange, staple-lock — run $100-$400. Longer hose runs and higher-pressure specifications add cost. On-site hose service within 60 miles of Ames carries a small dispatch fee but saves a full trip back to the shop. Every price is confirmed before we make the assembly.
How Long Does It Take?
In-shop hose work is typically done in an hour or less once we have the specs. Bring the failed hose (both ends, if possible) and we can match diameter, pressure rating, and fitting types on the spot. On-site hose service dispatched within 60 miles of Ames is usually a same-day visit if you call by mid-afternoon. Emergency after-hours service is available on a case-by-case basis for down equipment.
What We Match Exactly
- Hose diameter — 1/4″ up through 2″

- Fitting type — ORFS, JIC 37°, SAE 45°, NPT, BSPP, SAE flange (Code 61 / Code 62), and staple-lock
- Fitting orientation — straight, 45°, 90°, and specialty bends
- Skive vs. no-skive ferrules for the fitting type
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make hoses while I wait?
Yes. Bring the failed hose in during business hours (Mon-Fri, 7AM-5PM) and in most cases we crimp and hand over a fresh assembly in under an hour. If we need to source an unusual fitting or diameter, we’ll tell you up front how long.
Can you come to my equipment for hose service?
Yes, on-site hose service within 60 miles of Ames. Especially useful for heavy trucks, farm equipment, and industrial machinery that can’t easily come to us. Call or text 515-292-2599 to schedule.
What hoses do you carry on the shelf?
Common 1/4″ through 1″ hydraulic hose in 2,000 PSI and 3,000 PSI ratings, plus the common fittings — ORFS, JIC 37°, SAE 45°, NPT, and SAE flange 61/62. Less common (spiral-wire, high-pressure, exotic fittings) we can usually get within 24-48 hours.
What information should I have when I call about a hose?
The equipment make and model helps. Even better: bring the failed hose in, or send us a photo of both fittings and a measurement of overall length. If you can identify the fitting type and thread size, that speeds sizing. We can also match by eye if you bring the sample.
Do you work on farm equipment hoses?
Yes — tractor, combine, planter, sprayer, grain cart, and every kind of ag equipment. Farm hoses often have specific SAE fittings and specific hose diameters; we know them and stock the common ones. Preseason hose refresh on your equipment saves emergency calls at harvest.
