Hey James,
your pic shows a couple of hanging hyd lines under the valve cluster. It's possible to get them to tuck up under the factory ones and zip tie them in place. Ask me how I know?!
BTW, IT and Murphy have a 'skidplate' design that fits certain DK-40 series frame members to protect the QD's from getting disconnected by errant branches, etc. I bought a spare that Murph had; but need to add some spacers to it to make it fit my application. FWIW, thought this might be helpful.:confused3:

Yeah, I had them tied up nicely, but they got pawed out of the way, looking for that dang leak, I just hadn't got them tied back up neatly when I took the picture. When oil is gushing out everywhere (it seemed), it was hard to determine exactly where it was coming from, especially when you only have seconds to find it.
