Before you go moving and rerouting allow me to suggest you map out which goes where now, before you disconnect anything from one of those female ports. Use colored tape, zip ties, a combo of both, but save yourself now by taking a little time to map it out. You may find that you have to have some hose lengths made up to allow you to reroute some lines to the other side of your frame and up and around to get the angle you need to have. You might have to add a QD or two in a couple of places to get the length you need overall, or as you mentioned you might have to shorten a hose and refit the end to make a good fit. Time spent now will save big time in the long run.:thumbsup:
Not to worry, you'll get it the way you want it before long.

Thanks, that is great idea. Along with detailed photos of before.

For now since I rerouted the hose that was self destructing to a safer place (I think) I'll mostly just use the tractor in what free time I have and keep an eye on the hoses.

In a couple weeks when I get a little more time I can focus on solving t he puzzle of where best to route lines.

Any else have 90 degree fittings right out of the rear coupler bank? mine is the only one I've seen in pics.

My first impressions is that the cleanest looking routings folks have shown go straight back from the rear and go straight up from the top cylinder (rather than to the side like mine).

I am sure lots of good solutions, more than one way to skin a cat sort of thing.

Here are a few pics of my install. Mine did not come with 90deg fittings off of the rear remotes.

I did remove the 90deg fittings off of the side link and installed some straight fittings so I had a more direct route to the rear remotes.

I kept the top link 90deg fittings for now, and they seem to work ok for my setup.

That's cleaner than mine. I noticed your toplink is at 180 degrees to mine (mine has fittings on other side).

Lots of choices.

Spent about 5 more hours on the tractor yesterday, what a gas. Too rainy today.

At 15 hours and the display says I've average about a little better than .8 gpm and am at 50 percent dpf charge.
