I just changed the fiters on my l5460 hydraulics. The hoses going forward at the hydraulic filter were really tight in there and getting a strap on that filter was a pain.
Now I can't remember how the hoses were routed right at the hydraulic filter (not the hst filter). Should have taken a pic.
Anyone know if the lower hose should best be routed free of the hydraulic filter or crammed back between that filter and the frame bracket? When free it's more likely to be snagged, but if if pushed between the filter and the frame bracket it's tight enough I am concerned about abrasion on the hose. I am leaning toward just routing the hose around the filter freely.
Here's a pic of that filter with the hose routed around the filter rather than between the filter and the bracket.
