i have cut pieces off of the foam pipe insulation and put it around any places so the hoses rest on those pieces instead of rubbing on bare metal. this i think have saved me on worn hoses.
giving another update, shortly after getting everything back together, and driving it around and trying to move mulch and other stuff around the property,it seemed like it was struggling to go up even a very slight incline. i called terry and he suggested checking the pressures off of the tram...
martt, the capped fitting is where a hose actually connects to. we hadn't got to that point yet because we still had to pull the pto pump out, get the tram pump mated to the engine, rotate the pto pump 180 degrees to get the correct hose ports on the correct sides. i did order those magnets you...

Thanks for the responses,I bought a replacement thru amazon and it said it was a direct replacement but after taking it out today everything looked the same except for where the choke cable goes into. So not sure if it has to be modified or not and I'm not sure what it would take to do. Again...
