Hose Routing
1. Route hoses through the hose loops on the
undercarriage and through the large loop at the rear
of the undercarriage.
4. Use Zip Ties to group some hoses on the left and
right side of the hose routing plate. Strap the Zip Ties
over the top part of the routing plate that is bolted
to the tractor frame to keep the hoses towards the
outside of each side of the routing plate.
6. Strap the hoses to the drawbar with a set of
hose holding plates in 2 locations (2). Place 1 set
as close to the front of the drawbar as possible and
the other behind the axle before the hoses would
be routed upwards to be plugged in.
5. Continue to route the hoses down the top of the
drawbar to the back of the tractor where you can plug
them into the tractor SCV Ports.
9. Tighten the 1/2” nuts so the hoses are tight and
don’t move. If you have the nuts as far as they
go and can’t get the plates tight against the hoses,
use the provided 3/4” spacers and 1/2” washers
between the plates and the nuts to get everything
tight against the drawbar. Refer to drawing on
pages 8-9 for clarication.
2. Send hoses through the bracket at the pivot point
but stay on the outside of the rods that are by the
center large nut on the tractor. The hoses should be
between the rods and the inside plates of the bracket
(1).
3. Route the hoses through the hose routing plate
that was installed in Step #19 on Page 5.
7. Make sure to keep some slack in the hose
between the pivot point of the tractor and the rst
set of hose holding plates. The hoses will move
when the tractor moves and oscillates.
8. For each set of plates, use 2 - 1/2” x 5-1/2” bolts
and 2 - 1/2” lock nuts. If you have a 12-20 or 3-5
dozer blade, use 1/2” x 6” bolts instead.
10. Make sure you still have some slack in the
hoses by the pivot area so the hoses don’t get
pulled too tight when the tractor moves but don’t
make them too lose that they will get caught on any
debris. Turn the tractor and oscillate the tractor to
verify there is enough slack.
11. Plug the hoses into the open SCV’s at the back
of the tractor.
