A couple of years ago I needed a couple of hoses for the power steering I was installing on the grader at our shooting range. I went to the local hydraulic shop and was quoted $131.00 each for two 3/4" x 5' hoses. I thanked them and drove 13 miles to a local farm equipment manufacturer and they made up the pair for about $70.00. Sometimes it pays to shop around.

My brother was rumored to be the marbles champion where he grew up in eastern Nebraska; we had a literal gunny sack heavy with his winnings that I remember hanging in in the shed. By the time I came along 14 years later he was, I guess, over defending his turf, and I think that sack got left when we moved to western Kansas in the late 50's and he stayed behind. Always wondered whatever became of those marbles.

If you have a chop saw for metal(a good hacksaw will do in a pinch) and a decent vise you can just buy some hose and fittings and make them yourself. It's pretty easy really. You cut the hose to length, flush out any cuttings, screw on the outer collar then screw the center piece into the collar. I've done that a number of times in remote settings myself.
