Massey 135 AUX Hydraulics mounting

[CharlieDelta]

My aux hydraulic pipe hose run under the 3 point link arms. As you can see in the picture the link arms hit the hoses when down.
I want to fix this up because the hoses are very badly worn.

Where is the best place to mount the output hoses and its brackets on a 135 tractor.
I suppose anywhere where its safe is the logical answer, however I want to install the hose mounting plate where it is most practical for use.

Perhaps if you used longer hoses with a fairly big loop, you could clear the arm when fully lifted ie have the hoses going over the arm not under. You would probably need to use use 90 degree elbow fittings at the plate to give the hoses a lift in the right direction.

Thanks, when I drain the hydraulics I will change them. Unfortunately this tractor must have been owned by a welder because everything is welded in place, either that or bolts were very expensive. All brackets have been welded so to change and remove the hose support brack I will have to cut it off from the diff housing. But thanks for the advice.

With the way I have suggested it, you don't move or change the bracket, only the hoses and their fittings. I assume you can get the hoses and their fittings off without wrecking the bracket. If so, just get longer hoses made up with 90 degree fittings on the end.
