Hi Sleepy,
One thing I did to avoid busted or poked holes in the hydraulic lines on the loader.
Got a bunch of heater hose cheap from Lowes, cut it, sliced open and then zipped tied it to the lines.
Works great when picking up brush etc!
Also on your 4310, a few things I found my 4300 needing attention. The muffler tailpipe (exiting the muffler)
moved, and was touching my fan shroud (sniff sniff)
dunno how long it was there, but it put a nice curve in the plastic. Moved the pipe out, and tighnted the nut to make sure.
Also on the starter, the positive wire connection, check it, some of my wires were almost touching the big return hydraulic pipe, and engine components, I added some plastic wire loom and heater hose there to make sure they didn't get close.
I checked all around the engine too, adding heater hose to places I seen that contact / vibration would do damage to hoses, wire or lines etc... I'm glad i did that, extra insurance in my book.
OH, I added heater hose to the loader lines on the right side, (the lines/fittings I seen rubbed some against each other)
and the very top where it curves and touches the sharp corner on the hydraulic lines. Even thought that black mesh stuff is on them, I think this is far more better protection.
I'll take some pics, and post them tomorrow /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
