Lines for which? The up/down for the hitch are on the two outside connectors on the tractor. The hydraulic chute rotator is on the inside 2 connectors. Don't recall the colors, but easy to figure out once you try to rotate or raise/lower the front blower.
Mine have different color tie wraps on them, just whatever the previous owner decided to mark them with, and tried to match whatevewr he had on the tractor end. The caps are in fact different colors.
My lines are marked 1 to 4 on the lines themselves, from top to bottom. No need for color codes, just hook up based on marks on the lines themselves.

you are correct, yellow and white are the outside connectors (up and down). all i need to do now is put the chains on and the snow can come (not as cold out west as you have had it)

I have the same blower on a BX2360. No rotation, just lift.

I think you need to relabel your hoses. You may remember it now but if your like me, one day you'll forget and hook it up color to color and wonder why it doesn't work.

When new, I assembled the blower. It came with a couple red and blue bands. They're on the male and female sides of the lift circuit, but don't show well in the picture.

But true; I have put on the dump/curl circuit, 'cuz it matches the caps...:eek:

Kubota has two different colors schemes for the FEL vs the blower connections.

The connector caps are colors to connect the loader hoses.

There is a colored ring on the connector to match for the blower hoses.

Notice the blue ring on the white connector cap. The yellow cap has a red ring for the other hose.

I use Kubota color matching rubber/vinyl hydraulic fitting caps on my snow blower, and they match the correct fittings that are used for the various lines. It takes a few minutes to install them, but it saves a lot of trial and error time when installing the snow blower lines. The most time you will spend is finding the part number for the individual colors in the parts catalog.

Yep - I've got the same arrangement as Howling.

I just put the colored rings in different spots when I assembled it.
