Is this necessary to change, or not needed...?
The clamp on the hoses are rusted out already, but the hoses seem to hold up fine. If any know all the parts number, please list here, as I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

nope...unless the hoses can collapse or are leaking, or are cracking, etc. there is really no need to replace the hoses.

you could do it as preventative maintenance, but they aren't items that usually go by themselves unless they are rubbing, etc.

..or get oil on them constantly, etc.

I will keep an eye on the hoses. Thanks!
