Loader hose question

[trlong]

keeney, I'm surprised. 400+ hours on my 4115 and the same hose guide is as tight as the day it was delivered, new. I agree with 3 vs. 1 bolt but so far, so good.

Thanks, though, for the heads up. When checking for any loose nuts or bolts, I'll now pay more attention to the hose hanger.

I do have to be careful with the twist and routing of the lines from the front end blower. They too feed through the hanger but they require an additional quick ring type loop on the grill gaurd to keep them off the front tire. That ring seems a bit jury-rigged to me. I'm looking for something more like the hose hanger (but maybe with 2-3 bolts).

rvtech:
I have 2 brackets. One on the FEL Upright near the top that starts the line curving down and towards the engine side of the support bars that hold the FEL up when it is off the tractor. The second is under the platform just below the forward and reverse pedals. See the next few pictures showing how my hoses are routed. They do not rub against the wheel.

I disconnected the lines from the quick connects and re-connected them starting with connector #2 (silver) and the leaking seems to have stopped.
