The Multiquip 11696 Hose Assembly.38Idx35.5 Straight End Service is a genuine OEM hydraulic hose assembly designed for HTX44 and STX55 series hydrostatic ride-on power trowels. As a direct OEM replacement, this hose assembly is built to the exact specifications of the original component, ensuring correct pressure ratings, end fitting dimensions, and routing compatibility within the hydraulic system. Confirmed fitment includes the HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, and STX55Y6 models. Sourcing a genuine Multiquip 11696 ensures the part integrates seamlessly with your machine's existing hydraulic circuit without adaptation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Integrity — Built to the exact pressure rating and inner diameter specification of the original hose, ensuring no fluid restriction or leak risk at the straight end fittings.
- Straight End Service Fitting — The straight-end configuration matches the original routing and connection points on HTX44 and STX55 hydraulic circuits for a direct swap during service.
- Broad HTX44 and STX55 Coverage — Fits the HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, and STX55Y6 hydrostatic ride-on trowels, covering both Kubota and Yanmar engine variants.
- Consistent Hydraulic Flow — A correctly functioning hose maintains steady hydraulic pressure to the blade pitch and drive systems, keeping trowel response precise and consistent across the finishing pass.
- Leak Prevention — A worn or compromised hose can cause hydraulic fluid loss, erratic blade control, or drive failure mid-operation; replacing with a genuine OEM hose eliminates that risk at the source.
A hydraulic hose assembly carries pressurized fluid between the pump, control valves, and actuators that govern blade pitch and machine drive on a hydrostatic ride-on trowel. On HTX44 and STX55 series machines, these hoses are routed through tight quarters and subject to continuous flexing, heat, and pressure cycling during operation. When a hose degrades — whether through cracking, kinking, or fitting wear — hydraulic pressure drops, blade pitch response becomes sluggish or unpredictable, and in severe cases the drive system loses function entirely. Replacing the 11696 hose assembly with a genuine OEM part restores the hydraulic circuit to proper operating condition and protects the downstream components it serves.
