Hey all. I've got an L4760HSTC with a loader and 3rd function.
Question 1: Does anyone have a good diagram/photo of the 3rd function hydraulic line routing / bracketry for underneath the floor?
Question 2: Does anyone make an armor piece/kit for the tank-to-tank fuel hose and/or 3rd function lines?
Backstory:
Today I was bush hogging some crazy jungle stuff down in my slough.. carving a tunnel through 9 foot high reeds and other stuff. Good times.
Anyway, I suddenly noticed a strong diesel odor. I pulled forward a bit and the brush I had just been over looked shiny. I surmised that I was leaking diesel fuel, which was not the situation I wanted to be in in heavy brush on a 100 degree day.
Long story short, there is a big hose right under the floor of the tractor that connects separate fuel tanks on either side. That hose had been pulled off of the right side tank. The neck doesn't appear to be broken and the hose clamp is still on the hose. I dumped most of a tank of fuel in a matter of seconds. I was somehow able to get back home before I ran out of fuel.
So, in addition, my 3rd function hydraulic lines are now hanging down so low that they almost rub on the ground when parked on flat ground. I remember reading a complaint about the Grand L60 in regards to how the 3rd function line routing seemed like an afterthought and was insufficiently protected. Luckily I didn't lose those lines, but they are clearly not secured and insufficiently protected from the factory.
So, to reiterate my questions:
Is there an armor kit for the fuel hose and/or 3rd function lines? Does anyone have a picture or diagram of the 3rd function hose routing?
Finally, anything special I should do because of the fuel hose popping off and dumping the fuel?
