Not sure if anyone is even interested in this thread, but i have been pulling out the hair thats remaining in my head to try and make some removable brackets for threading the twin 3/4" supply hydraulic hoses to my "quick attach" brand loader mounted snowblower.
The manual just says to zip tie them to loader arm...but i don't think so. i really want the paint to remain for a few years at least.
I pondered long and hard and i think i came up with a good overall plan....ill see if it survives next winters snows.
I drew up and plasma cut some 1/4" stock for support plates and found several places on the loader to install them. I had to thread some 3/8" round rod and heat bend the support brackets. I tried some pre-made round ones, but there was way too much slop in the hoses.
The unit has an electrical driven hand control for chute rotation and deflection. The electric current runs a servo that forces hydraulic fluid to move/deflect the snow. pretty clever design really. Operates very fast.
Routing the hoses around the rear tires and still allowing for rear tire chains was also a chore. i hope this takes care of it. Ive tested it thru full range of motion, and the hoses never touch anything......
the snowblower reaches high enough to snowblow my roof :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
