help identifying u-bolt

[GBBBBB]

New CK3510H, ~ 12 hrs. Using the backhoe I started to lose power. Then a leak developed blowing hydraulic fluid around. It looks like the hoses to the aux valve worked loose. I found this u-bolt on the ground under the tractor. Just like it is in picture, with nuts attached. I don't know where it was or how it could have worked itself loose with bolts attached?

Sorry, can't help you on where it came from. Are you sure it came from the tractor? Most U-bolts have a flat piece of plate they're attached to that goes under the bolts and is used to squeeze or clamp down on whatever it's holding. Nothing obvious from the location of where hydro fluid is coming from?

On my CK35 that U-bolt secures the hydro hoses just above the swing cylinders. There is a bracket with two holes in it, nut on each side of the bracket. Two nuts came loose.
