The hose clamp idea may work, but i don't think its a very "bomb proof" way to do it.
You plan to cut off the hose barb section completely; leaving only the straight tubing section?

Another Member had the original Tubing modified (I believe welded) to accept America Hydraulic fittings (so the hose could be screwed on) and had Steele Braided Hydraulic Hose made up for him. The result is even sturdier than the Factory Made hoses.
He had some very clear pics in his threads/post.

There is at least 3 Threads other than mine on modes Members have made.

Keep us posted on your progress!
