A system for replacing an original hose assembly of a work machine with a replacement hose assembly includes at least a computing device, a database, and a server. The server is associated with the database and includes a processor configured via computer-executable instructions to perform a method of identifying the replacement hose assembly. The method includes prompting a user to select hose attributes associated with a hose of the original hose assembly. Based on the selected hose attributes, a replacement hose may be identified. The method further includes prompting the user to select coupling attributes associated with a coupling of the original hose assembly. Based on compatibility with the identified replacement hose and the selected coupling attributes, a replacement coupling may be identified. The method further includes generating a bill of materials for the replacement hose assembly and displaying the bill of materials.
