Backhoe 3720 Power Beyond Hose Routing

davemx68 · May 6, 2011

All,

Just replaced my 4410 with a 3720 with FEL and 375 Backhoe. Love the equipment. Took the backhoe off for the first time yesterday and it went pretty smooth. I did this since I wanted to run my 3 point attachments and get a feel for how long it takes to swap out. Took 10 mins to get the backhoe off, another 10 to get the 3 point arms back on.

Everything looks good, EXCEPT.....

There is a small hose (I think it is a by-pass) for the power beyond. It is only about 20 inches or so. This hose goes out the power beyond and back into the power beyond when not running the backhoe. Problem is that the hose seems to interfere with either the rockshaft or the top link depending on how you route it. Neither option I am comfortable with.

Is something installed wrong, routed wrong, or wrong hose?

:welcome:
Show us a pic pls. The ones I've seen pictured here just drop straight down with the loop and back up. Was just a recent thread showing such a pic, and was about adding a 3rd SCV. Will look for it.

I've noticed the same issue on my 3720. It almost seems like the hose should be longer so that it can flex a bit. The hose is quite stiff and seems to get in the way as you say. I've actually taken a rubber strap and tried to pull it to the left as you look at the tractor from the rear. Just a little tension seems to get it into a more neutral position so the rock shaft arm and top link doesn't rub.

mine just loops down and plugs right back in . it's rigid enough not to get in any trouble , i was wondering that the first time i took mine off . it should be fine .

Ok. I added some pictures. The second one was the way that fit best. I get a feeling the hose was not assembled correctly for the direct of the right angle fittings or this is simply the wrong part. I just don't like the stress wound up in the hose.

Edit: sorry pics are sideways for some reason.
