AAh Crap!! FEL Help

9973720wb19 · Aug 19, 2011

I took off my FEL on my 4720 cab today and all of the color coded covers came off each and every hydro lead hose on the FEL...now I don't know which color is which and where each hose hooks back up to the tractor! Can someone help? Is there a way to determine the color of each hose lead on the loader side?

Many thanks.

JoecDeere - yes, that helps a lot! from what you posted I was able to find a similar page and digram in my FEL manual...I took it back to my shop tonight and traced each line and put the (hopefully) correct color caps on each. now the test will be when i put the loader back on but i feel pretty good about the fix for now...thanks!:thumbsup:

Put colored tye wraps on each hose. That will be semi permenant.

I have (Actually my 13 year old kid has) a set of different colored electrical tape rolls. comes in handy for hose ID especially when I take the loader off and put my 4-way snow plow on, using the loaders QD's

using the posted digram (same found in my manual) i was able to trace each wire and it worked out fine...it was pretty simple/easy. i went to home depot and purchased colored zip ties and put them on....
