    Grand L loader 3rd Function valve wiring

    Does anyone have any pictures of how the wiring was installed and routed to the joystick on your Kubota factory 3rd function valve? I just got mine installed from the dealer and the wiring doesn't seem to be routed the way I expected. I will take some pictures of mine tomorrow for comparison.
