hose ****

[jam2004]

I didn't have to connect the front mounted snow thrower last year and now I can't remember which hose go from the subframe to the 4 position control valve and from the tractor to the control valve. Can someone please give me a clue or two?

Mine are all color coded Just match them up. May have small split ring colors like mine. If not clear, add colored tie wraps for next year once you get it figured out. I bought a pack with neon green, yellow, red, and blue. Philip.

jam2004--I don' know if the B's and L's are different from the BX's, but on mine the hoses from the tractor to the control valve are permanent. My blower has four hoses with quick connects (color coded as Phillip said) that raise and lower the blower and rotate the chute. Even with the color coding I have hooked 'em to the wrong valve in the past--no harm done, just use trial and error until they perform the correct function. Hope this helps and good luck...Regards, Mike

Thanks. I've tried seemingly every combination. Gotta keep trying.

On our BX2660 (which has 4 connectors in a row on the RH side), the center two are for one function and the outer two are for the other. I agree on getting colored zip ties. Save a lot of hassle that way.

Jam below is how a BX2200 is set up, do not know if this will help.

The set up for the loader valve if you are looking at the valve is as follows:

Left Top: Blue
Right Top: White
Left Bottom: Red
Right Bottom: Yellow

The hoses on the loader side should be color coded and connected as noted above colors.

When you connect the blower the front lift is connected to the Blue and Red on the loader valve as noted above.

My set up should be most like NY Yank's. Which way should I should I connect the tractor to the control valve?

It worked. Thanks for your help.

Gonna buy some of these. Thanks Philip.

If you ever have to replace the caps on the tractor or implement end, have the parts dept order a set for a BX2660. Those caps are colored red, green, yellow and white. IIRC, it was around $15 for the set of 4 through the local dealer (I ordered a set for the B7500 to replace the tired black caps that were stock).
